I am writing here since I have noticed that there is other cpu speed
daemon: cpufreqd. Cpufreqd (hosted at sourceforge) is much better that
cpuspeed since it supports different governors and rulez (e.g. it can
set the cpu at high preformance when playing a video with mplayer).

Unfortunately, cpufreqd is not included iin the most recent version
(2.2.0) in the Fedora repository, I have found the 1.2 (that is very old
!) on the dries. So I have installed and configured it manually, by
untarring and making.

One thing: the module speedstep_centrino is no longer used in the kernel
2.6.18, it seems. Use the ondemand governor instead.
