--- Comment #1 from h479627 at rtrtr.com ---
Sorry, I hit enter on accident when filling out the title and it submitted the
form before I could describe the bug.  It's not a big deal, but I'd suggest
clarifying how to enable a governor in section 3.2.2.  Right now it's a bit
unclear how to enable a particular governer. All it says is enter the following
command:

echo [governor] > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

This is unclear to me because my first thought was to use "cpufreq_powersave"
(or whatever governor I wanted to use) in place of [governor].  However, this
didn't work and gave me the following error:

bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

After googling I found the correct command to be the following:

echo powersave > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

Maybe an example would help clarify how to do this correctly.


For reference, here's the page I was using:
