cpufreq

Hi,

Just a quick question ... I have a script that looks in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ for cpufreq now I'm wondering if I new to load some module to get this ?

Or is this only for lappys?

TIA

Re: cpufreq

The cpufreq driver for your CPU (if your CPU is able to scale frequency: this is more useful on laptops). Something like powernow_k7, speedstep_ich. They should be in /lib/modules/<your>/kernel/drivers/.
I remember that sometimes ago udev did not autoload them reliably, so may be you have to list the module you need in MODULES in /etc/rc.conf. I am not sure, since I compile my own kernel and I have powernow_k7 compiled into the kernel.
