[Voyage-linux] Slow down processor

[David Gascón]

Hi Marco,

possible tools to be installed would be:

cpudyn - CPU dynamic frequency control for processors with scaling
cpufreqd - fully configurable daemon for dynamic frequency and voltage
scaling
cpufrequtils - utilities to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel feature
libcpufreq-dev - development files to deal with the cpufreq Linux kernel
feature
powernowd - control cpu speed and voltage using 2.6 kernel interface
powersaved - power management daemon

The modules which will would have to be activated in the Kernel would be (among others):
cpufreq_ondemand, cpufreq_userspace, cpufeq_powersave

what I don't know is if the Alix AMD processor will let you change its frequency.
* any of you guys have tried it? *

regards.

David.
