[mythtv-users] Dynamic Clocking and stuttering

[Allen Edwards]

How do you change the switch points?  I want it to go to 2.8 GHz when there
is basically anything above idle, say 10%?    It can then switch back to
1GHz when it goes idle.  Basically I just want to have a low power mode when
we are not using the thing, but not have it go to full sleep mode.  Fast to
increase clock, slow to decrease it would be ideal.
