Can anyone tell me why the CPU speed management and other tools were removed from KDE 4.5? I ran across this post on the KDE forums while trying to find an answer. http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f...167788#p167788 Why would any OS want to limit the CPU scaling? What would it matter to any Linux OS if the option was there or not? Very disappointing.

Re: KDE 4.5 missing CPU speed management
Read that as well and find it interesting. I agree, why would you remove that? Was there an issue with it they don't want to mention? That's how I see it. Maybe it was an issue with just Fedora? Interesting. Thanks for the post in the other thread on how to set manually. You may want to post that here. By the way it is gone in 10.04 if you upgraded to 4.5, so it is a 4.5 thing.Comment

Re: KDE 4.5 missing CPU speed management
I found the mailing list discussion. It seems that KDE is being infected with the Gnome settings fever, or lack of. WTF!!! http://osdir.com/ml/kde-devel/2010-03/msg00057.htmlKlaatu Barada NiktoComment

Re: KDE 4.5 missing CPU speed management
Yes, it is only 4.5. You can manually set it using solid. The code is still there for now, but hidden. RunOriginally posted by MoonRiseto set the CPU speed. To see your supported step speeds runCode:solid-powermanagement set cpufreq <value>
and select one for the <value> argument. I like to run at full speed on the lappy, so I created a bash script to run at starup.Code:solid-powermanagement query cpufreq
Code:#! /bin/bash solid-powermanagement set cpufreq performance

Thanks! Yes, on the laptop I like to run full as well. I'll use that to ensure it is.Comment
