What's new in cpufreqd-2 ------------------------ Cpufreqd 2 aims to become the next generation power management daemon. It provides a common interface to enable system monitoring and to take useful actions upon that. Currently it is still centered on the CPUFreq kernel interface, that means that running a CPUFreq capable kernel is still needed but also that behaviour could be delegated to a plugin. Note that the configuration file format is slightly incompatible with the previous cpufreqd 1 but it's really easy to migrate (a simple Perl script could do it, I'll try to prepare one soon). Plugins status -------------- * acpi_ac OK * acpi_battery OK * acpi_temperature OK * programs OK * cpu OK * nforce2 OK * apm Not tested, lacking HW (feedback is welcome) * nvclock Planned * acpi_event Planned * sensors Planned * exec Planned * pmu Planned, but no HW, will try to simple port the old plugin (any help is welcome) If you have a good idea about a new plugin you'd like to see, try to talk with me, if I like it I could implement it (e.g: would you like a plugin that makes a Rule match the current datetime? or would like a plugin that switches your screen brightness when a Rule mathces? I have other ideas but since most of the actions are very specific to a single platform there might be many others and different ways to implement the same thing).
