I did emerge -C sys-power/cpufrequtils and then restarted gkrellm. It
looks like this plugin still shows P-states wich is enough for me. But
I haven't tried restart it yet. And also haven't tried to remerge
x11-plugins/gkrellm-cpufreq. It probably won't wich is sad. I
personally don't need user-changing of the governor, kernel default
ondemand governor is OK for me. I just need to see P-states in
real-time in gkrellm.
