[relative cpufreq drivers suck]

Personally, I find this very annoying b/c 750 MHz makes the fan spin up more
often than 800 MHz where I don't feel any difference in performance.

In order to work only with absulute drivers, i.e. emulate the est(4)
behaviour, use /boot/device.hints to disable all relative drivers your system detects.

I have the same problem and am still running est/estctrl on my 6.0 Banias-Laptop. I read cpufreq(4) and didn't find any documented loader tunables. Would you care to share the magic incantation, that disables relative drivers?
