Hi all,

I enjoy compiling my own kernels, removing the NSA
code and getting just the stuff my PC needs. I just
created a custom-configured version of 2.6.24.5
for my PC. When doing so I was able to set the default
ACPI governor.

However I don't see how to set it on the fly
from user space. For instance in /proc I can't
find a file to write to.

Can anyone point out how to do this?

Thanks.

You view it as "Security Encumbered Linux", then? :-)

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq

Basically, write the name of the governor to each scaling_governor.

He probably means SELinux stuff...
I can't say I've ever used any of that myself, so it is pretty superfluous
for me. His reasons might be paranoia though.

Paranoia is fear without facts. Fear with the facts is called being
sane and sensible.
