There is - 2 sliders. one for battery (high power save) and one for ac (low powersave. there is a slider int he popup to change the power level NOW. at one end is performance, the other powersave and 2 levels in between. > If i click on the settings button in the pop-up, there are sliders for > "high" and "low" power levels, which give options for "power save", > "balanced low", "balanced high", and "performance". These don't seem > to correlate to the governors i have available. correct. you can't set the governor directly. this slider will pick a governor for you. because this varies wildy across many different cpu's. some now don't support governors at all - only the new energy levels above. there's logic inside the enlightenment system backend to map these to possible governors. the range of governors available will maybe only be 1 (performance) or 2 (performance and schedutil) or performance and powersave. you may also have ondemand or conservative or interactive... you may even have others. then ther's intel pstate which is far more user to set a pstate mn 0->100 and pstate max 0->100 -= again the backend now maps to this to pstate levels of 0, 50, 75, 100 depending on what you chose (min is always 0),a nd at 100 it also enables turbo. it;'s all inside e_system_cpufreq.c > See, for example, this screenshot: > > https://mega.nz/file/YHNARY7R#TbgEkGbzWA7vYv6k-qdJ3hAvTygnjb2NXSt0r-0DLAk > > I set the "high" level to performance, but found my machine was > running really slowly.

This is > while taking the above screenshot. you might have something else messing with it. setting it to performance may be overheating it. balanced hi is probably what you want. i did have a bug where those sliders in the config are swapped vs the situation used - just fixed it. but no - you don't set the governor directly. there's a mapping of the 4 states there (powersave -> performance). so if wer call them 0, 1, 2, 3 they will try map to 0 -> powewrsave 1 -> conservative, ondemand interactive (whichever is found first) 2 -> interactive, ondemand, conservative (whichever is found first) 3 -> performance it's actually more complex than that - there is a whole priority list for every level. https://git.enlightenment.org/enlightenment/enlightenment/src/commit/74cde1a37fb215a15b111767a8e5ee15b62c0b12/src/bin/system/e_system_cpufreq.c#L177 see that file for the pstate and energy handling too. governors have little effect if you have intel pstate then the 0->100 values are more useful. and energy stuff is another much more modern way of doing this with just 4 possible levels. > So, the sliders don't work, or at least only temporarily.
