CPU Governor/Fixed CPU Frequency

[hnb2907]

Hi folks,

I'm running the debian kernel (3.4.43+ #10).

Is it possible to disable the CPU frequency governor select only 912MHz as the default CPU frequency?  Preferably without rebuilding the kernel? 

I'm sure I've done something in the past where I echo'd something in a location in /sys


Thanks,
Chris.

You mean /sys/bus/cpu/devices/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_* files, but what to echo and in which one depends on what you want to do

What are you trying to do exactly?
Speed it up? Throttle it down? Save battery power?

thanks all, sorted by installing cpufreq utils and selecting the performance profile
