I have been playing around with arch for a week and I'm very impressed. Indeed it is a great distribution. It gives the user the power and flexibility to do anything while keeping things simple.
Now on to my problem! I get flickering on the screen whenever my cpu goes below its max. It's not something terrible but it is annoying. I thought it was casued by the refresh rates so I searched this forum and went to some websites to calculate the refresh rate for my laptop. I edited xorg.conf and I put in the correct refresh rates so I stopped getting the flickering as long as the cpu was at its max.
This cannot be right. I also can't control the cpufreq. I tell it to stay on performance with the max cpu but it keeps going back to powersave thereby causing the annoying flickering.
Any help would be much appreciated.

maybe you need to load all the governors in order to change your cpu frequency. what modules do you have loaded?

the following governors show up on the gnome-applet:
ondemand
userspace
powersave
performance
these are the ones rc.conf:
cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_userspace
freq_table powernow_k8 cpufreq_ondemand)
