Display current CPU frequency

[Renato Alves]

Occasionally I notice that my system slows down despite reasonable min/max frequency settings.
A few times I've realized this is caused by the CPU being forced into a lower frequency due to thermal throttling or some other reason.

Would it be possible to include a Current Frequency display in cpupower-gui?

This information is shown in cpupower frequency-info:

# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
(...)
  current CPU frequency: Unable to call hardware
  current CPU frequency: 800 MHz (asserted by call to kernel)     <-------------
(...)

As frequency changes rather often, this panel would have to refresh constantly.

Sort answer: I am planning to add this.

Long answer:

On the treew-view branch I am adding a table with the settings. The plan is to also add the current CPU frequency.

Here is a preview as it is now d009be9

The table in the screenshot looks great. Looking forward to that update.

I changed the UI and the current scaling frequency is displayed in the table. It has an updates every 500ms.

This looks great, massive thanks!
I'll also be finishing the nixOS packaging this weekend.

I plan to release a new version this weekend.
