Well I don't know either, but after checking the latest 2.4.21-benh
kernel source I found that this particular model of TiBook (Powerbook3,3) is
not supported in the cpufreq code. For some reason most of the other models
are supported, both older and newer. This might suggest that the hardware
does not support scaling, but on the other hand, it would not make sense for
Apple to drop the support on only model of Powerbook.
Does anyone have more info on this?
Best wishes,
