wcpufreq CPU Frequency Scaling 1.1
Posted: Tue 26 Oct 2010, 23:08
• Supports as many cores as kernel--typically 4 or 8 (thanks to Iguleder)
• Gleans available modules and governors from active kernel. (thanks to Iguleder)
• Displays current core speeds, scaling driver and governor
• For ondemand governor, select frequency range and from 4 up_threshold modes:
95% Powersave, less responsive
80% Default
50% Balanced, more responsive
30% Performance, very responsive
(My personal preference is 50% with AC power, 80% with battery)
• Remove driver option
• Feedback / status panels
• Help dialog
• New icons
• Works from root or 'fido' user in Wary
• Activates during boot up
• Displays $DISTRO_NAME in title bar
Displays active cpufreq driver module and scaling governor, even if loaded by script in /etc/init.d, other pets or in rc.local.
Tested on Slacko 5.4.0.5, Lucid 5.25, Wary 5.1.1.53, Fatdog 64 611 and Lighthouse 64 6.00
Changelog
2013.03.02 1.1 Bugfixed pinstall.sh for Woof build, thanks to 01micko.
gtkdialog icon tweak.
wcpufreq--1.0 130210
Precise bugfix: Expand driver search to new kernel module locations.
More info on the first panel. Support Woof in pinstall.sh.
wcpufreq-0.8 110910
Updated for Fatdog 64-520; account for scaling drivers built-in to kernel instead of compiled modules.
wcpufreq-0.7 110508
Activate at boot up from /etc/init.d/wcpufreq instead of script in ~/Startup.
Removed /home/spot and /etc/skel directories from wcpufreq.
Updated for fido user compatibility in Wary.
Woof/Wary: earlier versions of wcpufreq sometimes failed to activate on reboot--fixed.
wcpufreq-0.6 110424
Bugfix: Jim1911 and taca0 reported that prior scaling module was removed after reboot or second run of wcpufreq. Removed mperf module from driver selection dialog and improved detection of current driver by scanning /proc/modules.
wcpufreq-0.4 101027
Name changed to wcpufreq. Account for /etc/init.d/start_cpu_freq (recent Woof script) when detecting driver. Display current core speeds. up_threshold selection for ondemand governor. Suggest to avoid using p4-clockmod driver. Advise if no acpi or BIOS was released before 2007. Updated help dialogs.
pcpufreq-0.3 Initial release 101023
