[gpm] how to disable cpu frequency scaling?

["Brian Hinz" <bphinz hotmail com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to disable the cpu frequency 
scaling component of the gnome power manager?  I have a fanless, transmeta 
efficeon based laptop, and the GPM scaling behavior (max'd out whenever on 
AC) causes it run *way* too hot (caught it idling at 70C the other day!!!!). 
 Even under battery conditions, it runs about 8-10degC hotter than w/o GPM. 
 I'd like to have a "don't touch" policy on the cpu, (as gpm seems to 
totally override any longrun/sysfs settings) but otherwise retain all the 
other features of GPM.

Big kudos otherwise.  I've just switched from gentoo/fluxbox to gnome under 
ubuntu and was *stunned* by the fact that suspend to ram worked without 
having to apply the suspend2 patches - actually it seems to work better in 
fact!

Thanks,
