Same works for me on 64 bit Turion. (Acer) running deb 64 bit port. My
model has two speed steps, 800Mhz & 1.6Ghz.
I use a modified cpufreq (changes pasted below)
The main changes are minfreq & max freq, since I have two states 50%
sets mine to 800Mhz like it should. Without this the cpu will not
properly switch to the lower frequency. Notice below that only the
performance high is set to "maxfreq=100%" but the rest run at 50%.
You might have to change this if your cpu has more than two states.
Tip: I use "cpufreq_ondemand" instead of userspace, since It switches
faster this way. With userspace, you will have to use the applet to
switch states.
Still gives me the 'grunt' when I want it :) without me doing anything.
