I think the ability to set a min and a max frequency in /etc/power.conf would be useful. I might for example want to let mine go up to 1.667 GHz rather than teh normal 2.000 GHz, but let it go down to 1.000 GHz. In other words, have some degree of manual control, while letting the system have some automatic control. I guess for laptops there is some argument for letting non-root users control this. > > PS, I'm not sure why there are now two threads with > this title going on - it is quite confusing.

There appears to be several in differnet forums with the same tiltle and the same title in the same forum too. 1) One thread is started by in 'discuss' by ' Guest' with the title 'frequency scalling in opensolaris' This has 5 replies 2) Another thread by the same title is started by 'nacho ' That has 16 replies. Likewise, the 'Indiana Review' has at least two going, with one started by Guest and another by uk-admin. A thread I started 'Why is my Intel GMA 950 graphics not being reconisded (driver exists)' has no replies. Another one I appear to have started, has 'Re:' in front of it (i.e. Re: Why is my Intel GMA 950 graphics not being reconisded (driver exists) ) has 14 replies. It seems that if one starts a thread, and CC's it to a couple of forums, then anyone replying in another forum will only reply to that forum. So the thread can split and have the same title but different posters on different forums. Another one I can see multiple theads from is ' Middle management at Sun destroys OpenDS is OpenSolaris next?'
