CPU frequency setting plugin - what's it called?

[Silvio Knizek]

Hi,

is the usermode-governor loaded as module or hard compiled into your kernel?

Regards

No, I'm left (button 1) clicking on the panel, I get the "CPU

either "Available Frequencies:" or "Available Governors:" and selecting
a different value from the pull-down list doesn't actually change
anything.
