powernowd originally was only written for AMD CPUs which support PowerNow! technology, but it supports other CPUs as well.

Make sure you have loaded the necessary kernel modules.

Install "powernowd". On Debian you can do this with:

 apt-get install powernowd

On my IBM ThinkPad T23 with Debian this was all I had to do.

In "/etc/default/powernowd" you may specify different options for powernowd. This file will be loaded by the init script "/etc/init.d/powernowd". This is all for Debian.
