I am planning to add support for loading common presets offered by kernel-config, such as
  • ideal
  • lv
  • ulv
  • xlv
  • custom (a user-defined preset named "custom")

My env:
1. Have QCPUFreq in the QuickLaunch status menu widget.
2. Have the portrait-support status menu patch installed.
Which menu-patch are you talking about? Please note that if you are experiencing any problems with extras-devel software, it's probably not the fault of QCPUFreq.

QCPUFreq is not meant to be a GUI version of kernel-config. I believe that voltage-related settings should only be changed by very advanced users who should be familiar with the command line and the kernel-config utility.

I am still working on sony123's suggestion. After thinking about this a bit I came to the conclusion that a "maximum frequency" setting in the settings widget could be a bit confusing. It's kind of hard to explain the difference between maximum allowed frequency for QCPUFreq, maximum frequency for the CPU and current CPU frequency to new users. Therefore I'd rather display a warning before applying new frequencies above 600 MHz (or 800?). What do you people think about this?
