Then I can't answer you because I've never heard that feature works, maybe that's why there are three diferent packages to do it.

Even more, you can find a bunch of tutorials explaining how to do it in Ubuntu by hand (p. ex. http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/CPUFreq ), so I suppose they haven't done any automatic recognition either. > I've had ideas to implement support for CPU detection into discover > v2, but it isn't written yet.
