The CpuFreq Plugin shows in the Xfce Panel the following, chooseable informations:

• current CPU frequency
• current used governor

In a seperate dialog it provides you following informations of all available informations:

• all available CPU frequencies
• all available governors
• used driver for the cpu

Using the plugin is quite simple. You select the cpu which you want to monitor in the Xfce Panel. Next thing you could change is the timeout interval how often the informations have to be updated. The default value is 1,0 s.

You can also specify which informations should be displayed in the panel.
