Bug#587514: ITP: cpupowerd -- daemon for frequency and voltage, control of AMD K8 CPUs with undervolting/overvolting capability



Hi all,

nine months ago I liked to install a cpu frequency controlling daemon
that is also capable of voltage setting. I'm not an overclocker, but I
wanted to keep system temerature low and save some power consumption.

Well, since there was no package in the debian repositories I did a web
research, stumbled upon cpupowerd and two alternatives; I felt that
cpupowerd had all neccessary documentation and was easy to install.

I had to add some init info to the init script for more init compliance,
and played with the vid settings until I got the system running with
lowest possible values.
Only drawback is that itself needs cpu time, maybe that could be
optimized, but I'm very pleased with cpupowerd's efforts to save energy.
I've found cpupowerd very useful.

I'm feeling that Debian should have a cpu frequency controlling daemon
that is capable of cpu voltage setting.

Best,

Sebastian
