I've been trying to ger CPUFreq and powernowd to work...

+ powernowd requires the file:
    /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
  (I have the sysfs establihed in /etc/fstab)
+ To have that file I need CPUFreq enabled in the kernel
+ Even though I have CPUFreq enabled (and the related settings), I do not have the ./cpufreq directory when I use APM. When I use ACPI I have the directory.

The Debian page about the powernowd says that it "does not depend on APM or ACPI". My question is: can I not use CPUFreq (and some deamon e.g. powernowd) when I'm running APM, or must I use ACPI?
