Use proc or sysfs with cpufrequtils

Use proc or sysfs with cpufrequtils

[Chris Pemberton]

Hello,

I'm compiling cpufrequtils from scratch.  My kernel contains ACPI/proc 
support only (not ACPI/sysfs).

1.  Why does the kernel state that ACPI/sysfs depreciated while 
cpufrequtils states that ACPI/proc is depreciated?

2.  Can you enable both ACPI/sysfs and ACPI/proc in the kernel without 
any issues?

3.  Does this list have a searchable webpage?

Thanks,

Chris

the cpufreq stuff has little to do with /proc/acpi. From cpufreq POW the
deprecated stuff is /proc/cpufreq while the way to go is
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/cpufreq/
That's all

I don't think so.

You can just download some monthly archives, feed your mailer with it
and search for things?

Some days ago I thought it's down or broken, but this came out to be an
opera (9.10) problem, I still get: 
You tried to access the address
http://lists.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/cpufreq, which is currently
unavailable...

firefox is working.

Thank you.  I found the following:

A great explanation.
