This is the default Debian config, but works well out of the box:
# this is a comment # # you need: 1 [General] section, # 1 or more [Profile] sections # 1 or more [Rule] sections # # a section ends at the first blank line # # [Rule] sample: # [Rule] # name=sample_rule # ac=on # (on/off) # battery_interval=0-10 # cpu_interval=30-60 # programs=xine,mplayer # profile=sample_profile # # [Profile] sample: # [Profile] # name=sample_profile # minfreq=10% # maxfreq=100% # policy=performance # # see CPUFREQD.CONF(5) manpage for a complete reference
