Re: CPU frequency scaling on AMD64 laptop

[David Wood <obsidian@panix.com>]

I've seen several things cause this. Every BIOS is different, but you 
generally have to enable both Cool-n-Quiet and ACPI 2.0. My BIOS (a8v), 
for instance, had ACPI 2.0 disabled by default for some reason, and 
nothing complains when you turn CnQ on without it - it just doesn't work.

Then the kernel itself has to support ACPI; you have to turn on the right 
parts, but it looks like you have. Beyond that... you know how laptops 
are.  :(
