Hi,

just fix some smaller issues in the cpufrequency preferences app and got the following idea.

Add the moment there is only a EST driver for old intel cpu's. If there is anybody interesting in kernel/driver development but wasn't keen enough to start because driver development seems to be too complex, this a good opportunity to get into it. Writing a acpi cpu frequency driver should be relatively simple. The driver must just be able to read all cpu states, the current state and be able to switch states. Just look at the acpi battery driver to get a starting point.

If you are interested I can give you more informations.

Regards,
        Clemens
