[solved] GNOME cpu frequency scaling monitor applet doesn't work

Hello,

i have installed everything successfully (i come from fedora), but now i have a problem

I want to add the cpu frequency scaling monitor applet to the panel, but i can't see it. When i rightclick on this place, the submenu with settings and so on is displayed, and i can choose the other cpu1 instead of cpu0, then the applet appears. But the applet shows 0 Mhz and i can't choose a frequency or something.

I start GNOME with xinit and have added exec ck-launch-session gnome-session to ~/.xinitrc, because shutdown wasn't displayed at the beginning and automouting permission problems.

What's the problem?

Edit: My system is a netbook with intel atom cpu

Re: [solved] GNOME cpu frequency scaling monitor applet doesn't work

the problem is that the modules are not loaded automatically for cpu scaling and you have to explicity add them into rc.conf, MODULES array.

MODULES=(...acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand...)

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
