Thesandlord,
you are right, it requires root access to write to the required cpufreq area.
As part of the .deb package 3 short scripts are installed and added to sudoers.
liqbase-cpu-powersave
liqbase-cpu-ondemand
liqbase-cpu-performance

(i might not have the names correct, im on downtime for a bit now

)

Upon switching in the UI these scripts are called with "sudo ..."

The alternative would have been to keep the entire application inside root, but I thought this was unacceptable.
