CPU FREQUENCY SCALING 1.3-2 - Ondemand (dynamic) - GUI
Based on this thread
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28443
Cheers
Updated to v. 1.3-2: bugfix - sorting min frequencies not always from smallest
Updated to v. 1.3-1:
- Added tooltip for refresh module button
- Min freq sorting in combobox - start from smallest value
Updated to v. 1.3:
- Added refresh module button (you have to reboot after), useful when you use other computer's pupsave file
- No need to type in Min - Max Frequencies (already listed)
Updated to v. 1.2 - fixes report (forgot to cpu1 report)
Updated to v. 1.1:
- redesigned GUI
- cater for cpu0 and cpu1 (I don't have cpu1, please anyone test)

hi trio, could not test it extensively as i'm already running ondemand. some short notes:
- it does read my actual settings correct.
- it does not have a bin/symlink in the path, any reason for that?
in general: very useful.

na i don't see anything like a guru if i look at the mirror...

it's just that using linux now for about 3 years, i'm falling more and more in love with terminal-usage, keyboard-driven wm-usage and such things. and i don't feel like a geek doing so, it's more that it often feels efficient and fast.

hi trio,
one question on a little enhancement: wouldn't it be useful to also setup the general governor to use?
- powersave (always lowest freq)
- ondemand (on demand jump to highest freq)
- performance (always highest freq)
- conservative (on demand alter the freq in steps)
- userspace (usersetup freq)
See here for a general doc about the scaling governors: http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document ... ernors.txt. Reading that doc again, it seems that the conservative mode might be even better for laptop-users...

Aragon,
Yeah, I just thought that for newbies (who uses this gui btw), they maybe don't care or don't know what is ondemand, what is powersave, etc.
and the other reason is, from what I read, it's he wisest to use ondemand (plus the max frequency tweak), not to loose too much cpu speed, but not to get it warm/hot to high.
Those are thw two reasons I didn't put options of the scaling mode
thank you for input

Even though "ondemand" clearly states it will jump to the highest frequency, in actual practice, I see it step thru the scale as needed --- similar to what is described for conservative.aragon wrote:hi trio,

although i see your point, i don't see your gui in the 'newbie-section'. diggin' around deep in /sys is not everyone's favourite...trio wrote: Yeah, I just thought that for newbies (who uses this gui btw), they maybe don't care or don't know what is ondemand, what is powersave, etc.

Steve,
Menu - utility - cpu scaling - choose a module - click activate (until you get a success message pop up) - read the success message - see lowest and highest frequencies values - put the lowest in min box, you may want to put the highest or second highest in max box, click activate - a success message will pop up. You're done.
If you want to monitor cpu temperature - search for pwidgets or conky in the forum
Thanks, btw you have dual core?
Aragon,
This is exactly what I meant about newbies, I just want to help them out. They are eager to try things out, but not yet too expert in comand line.

Now I can confirm (since nobody is reporting) that on DUAL CORE also works
