-This daemon monitors /proc/apm for the battery status and scales your
-cpu frequency according to a set of rules. It is very useful for
-providing maximum battery life but good cpu speed at the same time.
+A small daemon to adjust cpu speed and voltage (and not only) for
+kernels using any of the cpufreq drivers available. Cpufreqd is not a
+userspace governor.
+Cpufreqd allows you to apply governor profiles from rules based on
+battery level, ac status, temperature (ACPI or sensors), running
+programs, cpu usage and (maybe) more. You can also change your nforce
+FSB clock and video card frequency (NVidia only) or execute arbitrary
+commands when a specific rule is applied.
+You need a CPU with frequency and voltage scaling capabilities and a
+Linux kernel with cpufreq support.
