Hi Rafael,
Thanks for the branch and adding it to the previous 6.5-rc4 code,
as now I can re-use the menu baseline tests already done.
My test computer boots by default to use the teo idle governor.
When I change to the menu governor, my system becomes
unresponsive and I have to re-boot.
Is anyone else having this difficulty?
... Doug
