I tried that now. I dunno yet if it makes any difference. I can't see
any readings in /proc/cpufreq (I dunno if that gets automatically
updated, but I assume it does).
Right now I have everything related to cpufreq compiled statically in
the kernel ..

Oh. I'll consider that then.

As I understand it, cpudyn is a substitute for cpufreqd - not as
advanced, but much easier to configure.

Am I right ? What utils work the best on mac ? Can you send me a
cpufreqd.conf for my powerbook ? I've had problems configuring it, and I
haven't been able to find my help online, not as to configuring cpufreqd
on a mac, at least, so if you could point me to any help on that, it
would be appreciated.

How does cpu frequency scaling work in Linux on mac ? Is it possible to
make it work as good as in mac os x ?

Thanks for your help.
