where is 'cpuinfo_cur_freq' located in Slackware 12.2

I have used slocate to find cpuinfo_cur_freq, doesn't seem to be there on my system.

Has it been removed in recent versions?

Its in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/

Definitely not there on my build. There are only two folders, 'cache' and 'topology'.

Well, if you are just wanting the current frequency, I have done it since 10.2 this way:

Code:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

This will tell you your current frequency and it does adjust based on frequency scaling (speedscaling on Intel, and I don't remember what AMD calls theirs).

That means your cpufreq drivers aren't loaded. (For all recent Intel machines, the correct driver is acpi-cpufreq).

That works, thanks.
