Hi there.

Just as an extra data point, with the patch that I sent in the earlier package,
I can indeed (as expected) set lower frequencies with ondemand (that is, *it*
sets the frequency dynamically).

One benefit of this is that, when my computer is left idle, it does not heat as
much as it used to, but I fear that there is no voltage being decreased, and,
therefore, no power economy.

Is that right? How should one implement it "the right way"? I just know some C,
but I don't know how program physical devices. I can, OTOH, test as many
patches as you'd like me to.


Thanks in advance for any help, Rogério Brito.
