This program seems to be very successful in setting the sysctl variable that ichist uses. This is a great step towards an add-on application for speedstepping, a good temporary solution before (as I've heard it) moving this functionality into the kernel. Hopefully ichist gets worked on soon so's it begins to save a bit of the ol' battery life. It would be nice to finally get more than the 3 - 4 hours that I've been getting in fBSD. -- If I write a signature, my emails will appear more personalised.
