>I wrote a program that can manually change the CPU frequency on an "AMD K7 >Powernow" processor. My goal is a daemon that lowers the CPU frequency when no processor power is needed - just like it is done if MS Windows runs on my laptop.
>1) Do similar projects already exist so I do not need to continue? Yes; you can download the source code fo rmy "powernow" driver from opensolaris.org in the laptop community (look for frkit) >2) Is anyone interested in joining the project? >The software could be published as freeware. Absolutely; my code supposedly supports K7 powernow, but I'm not sure if it works so that could be rolled in. We also have a internal update which supports various Intel Enhanced Speedstep cpus and we hope to relase that driver soon (Though I will probably rename it as not to confuse the lawyers) >3) BTW. is there any specific possibility (website) to publish OpenSolaris >projects as freeware or only the "generic" freeware sites like SourceForge? > Probably; but Sourceforge works for Solaris.
