$ cpufreq-selector -f <frequency_in_KHz> $ cpufreq-selector -g <governor>
To change the frequency from the applet, simply click on the applet and a menu will be shown with the list of available frequencies.
The cpufreq-selector is installed suid root by default.
To not install the cpufreq-selector:
$ ./configure [options] --disable-frequency-selector
