Description Lars Strojny 2007-12-26 22:28:41 UTC 
gnome-power-manager has a gconf-flag which specifies wheither the UI for changing CPUfreq governors is shown or not. The key is /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show. I would vote to change its default to true to provide configuration options for the CPUfreq governor in GNOME.

I'm not exactly keen on changing upstream defaults. I also enabled this on my laptop but would like to hear from other laptop users in herd.

It's really nice to know this is available...
I wonder why upstream sets it they way they do?

Regardless, changing the schema would only change it for new installs.

The ebuild now has a note about this.
Comment 5 Iain Buchanan 2008-11-11 04:21:14 UTC 
can someone re-open?

gconftool-2 /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show -t bool -s false(In reply to comment #4)
> The ebuild now has a note about this.

the supplied elog command:
 gconftool-2 /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show
didn't work.  I had to use:
 gconftool-2 /apps/gnome-power-manager/ui/cpufreq_show -s true

I think there are other ways to do it too.

thanks.
