I found a post in the forums regarding kpowersave being in portage. I then followed a guide I found at:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.power-management.powersave/290
which was posted in this thread:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3230555.html
The overlay was hard for me to find (bing at the bottom of the page and all  ) so I decided to write a guide on here to make it work.
Changes made to the overlay on gmane:
1) updated the ebuilds to match current versions
2) a patch for powersave which substitutes the "ondemand" governor for the "conservative" governor by enabling USE="conservative"
Here I have a script to download and install the overlay which I have hosted on my [url=http:www.neucode.org/]website[/url]
You can get the overlay here if you want to install the overlay manually.
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
mkdir -p /usr/local/portage
echo "PORTDIR_OVERLAY=\"${PORTDIR_OVERLAY} /usr/local/portage\"" >> /etc/make.conf
cd /usr/local/portage
wget http://www.neucode.org/overlays/powersave_overlay.tar.bz2
tar jxfv powersave_overlay.tar.bz2
echo "sys-power/powersave conservative" #only if you want my patch for the conservative governor
emerge -av powersave kpowersave
|
You may have to unmask some of the packages first:
| Code: |
# echo "sys-power/kpowersave" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "sys-power/powersave" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
