--- Comment #1 from Jack Reed jreed@redhat.com --- Thanks for reporting these issues, Jim. I'll address them individually, and have asked Jaroslav Skarvada for his advice on a couple of them.
(In reply to comment #0)
the location of the cpufreq directory is misspecified it is /lib/modules/3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64/kernel/drivers/cpufreq
No problem, I've fixed this up.
There are no modules acpi-cpufreq or p4-clockmod available is acpi-cpufreq directly compiled in.
Jaroslav, how are these drivers acquired? I don't have them listed in my /lib/modules/KERNEL/kernel/drivers/cpufreq directory either. (They are mentioned in the Important admonition in [1].)
the cpuspeed package is mentioned for the userspace governor but no package exists in fedora 17.
Jaroslav, the F16 Alpha release notes [2] say that cpuspeed has been rendered obsolete. The Power Management Guide mentions that the userspace governor is "normally used in conjunction with the cpuspeed daemon". Is whatever has replaced cpuspeed still used in conjunction with the userspace governor? Or can I just remove this point entirely?
I have been completely unable to figure out the following use case.
My laptop overheats and powers off if the cpu load is high for too long.
There should be a cpu governor or userspace daemon that reduces frequency when the temperature gets too high.
Jim, it would be best to submit a new bug against the cpupowerutils component as a request for enhancement.
