bbcpufreq is a GUI front-end for the cpu frequency daemon bbcpufreqd, designed for use with minimalistic window managers.
If you're looking for a GUI frontend for the CPU frequency daemon that works well with minimalistic window-managers like Blackbox, bbcpufreq might be the tool for you. It's easy to use and lets you select a power profile or choose between dynamic and manual power policy settings.
While using bbcpufreq is relatively straightforward, there are a few requirements you'll need to satisfy before getting started. Specifically, you'll need to have GTK+ version 2.2.x, libcpufreq, libsysfs, and libgtk2 installed on your system.
To compile and install bbcpufreq, simply type "make" to compile the program, then type "make install" (as root) to install it to the default install directory (/usr/local/bin).
Once you have bbcpufreq installed, you'll need to set up cpufreqd to use a Unix socket for local communication. In the [General] section of /etc/cpufreqd.conf, set the "enable_remote" line to "1". You'll also need to be able to read cpufreqd's socket, which you can do by running bbcpufreq with root privileges.
Alternatively, you can set the group ownership for cpufreqd socket in [General] section of /etc/cpufreqd.conf, replacing user_group with your desired value. This way, you won't need root privileges to use bbcpufreq.
Overall, bbcpufreq is a useful tool for managing CPU frequency settings on your system. With a bit of setup, it's easy to use and can help you optimize your computer's performance.
