I updated to 6.0-CURRENT to test out the powernow drivers on my machine. It's a laptop and the processor is AMD Athlon-xpm. I cannot be certain that I'm setting this thing up right; and it may not even work on this box but I suspect it does from that I've seen in this list. I'm not sure how to check my cpu frequency. Any pointers will be appreciated. added to kernel: device cpufreq added to rc.conf: performance_cpu_freq="HIGH" economy_cpu_freq="LOW" carmen# sysctl dev.cpu dev.cpu.0.%driver: cpu dev.cpu.0.%parent: legacy0 carmen# dmesg ...
