Bug Description
Binary package hint: cpufreqd
Ubuntuforums thread : http://
In Jaunty 9.04, a few days ago, it was noticed that the default CPU frequency is now "Performance". Before, it was set to "OnDemand". This can be changed back again on a per-session basis by clicking on the CPUFreq applet (in gnome) and changing the setting to whatever is desired, or changed permanently either by updating "/sys/devices/
However, when using a laptop, this is not desirable default behaviour as the effect on battery is obvious. This setting should be "OnDemand" by default.

Whenever I boot the system, the governor is set to Performance by default, and I would have to change it back to Ondemand every time. It gets very annoying, and I would really like a choice in choosing what speed governor I use when I'm on AC power and on battery power.
