cpufrequtils + i8kctl (+ gkrellm?) = cpu temp based throttling?

Huh, I thought it was just a rehash of cpufreq-utils. It looks like
it's just the tool I need, thanks for the recommendation.

However...

# /usr/sbin/cpufreqd -D
apm_init                 : /proc/apm: No such file or irectory
pmu_init                 : /proc/pmu/info: No such file or directory

# acpid
acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory

# ls /proc/acpi
ls: /proc/acpi: No such file or directory

# i8kctl

So, acpid won't run, and therefore I can't get AC, battery, or cpu
temp into cpufreqd.

Any ideas? Maybe there's some way to get cpufreqd to use i8kctl as its
sensor source?
