Re: Dynamic frequency governor

Hey guys,

can we avoid the issue completely, by taking something like powertweak,
which will let you monitor any system value(s), and then use a
combination of the values the user selected to determine the speed? 

(though on my BX notebook i only get 2 speed, 700Mhz and 850Mhz)

though most of this functionality does not exist in powertweak yet.. I
still need to add getting values at regular intervals, and some generic
calculation engine.

the first i will do anyway as i want to provide a graph
