Eelco Dolstra	e194d41b9c	cpufreq: Don't complain if a CPU doesn't support the desired governor	2012-08-23 12:12:25 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra	9e5bbee2b1	Make cpufreq a service instead of a task ... Otherwise it will be restarted by switch-to-configuration even when it hasn't changed.	2012-08-23 11:08:42 -04:00
Eelco Dolstra	cc41bce79d	* Prevent merging of some options. P.S. maybe string options ... should be "uniq" by default. svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=31520	2012-01-13 13:26:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	cf36b3db80	* If power management is enabled, set the governor to ‘ondemand’ by ... default. See http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/power/good_practices.html for the reasoning. (Basically, the ‘performance’ and ‘powersave’ governors don't actually provide extra performance or power savings in most cases.) It used to be that desktop environments like KDE were able to set the governor through HAL (e.g. KDE could be configured to switch to the powersave governor when the user unplugs his laptop). However, this is no longer the case with upower — it is now expected that everybody uses the ondemand governor. See http://old.nabble.com/-PATCH--powerdevil-remove-cpufreq.patch-td27815354.html * Rename ‘cpuFreqGovernor’ to ‘powerManagement.cpuFreqGovernor’. * Include cpufreq-utils in the system path if a governor is set, since we depend on it anyway. svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=30991	2011-12-20 22:44:58 +00:00
Peter Simons	ae82e7b048	Added cpuFreqGovernor option to configure a CPU frequency governor. ... svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=30949	2011-12-16 23:44:37 +00:00
