I seems I got it working with the same CPU_FREQ settings as in my very first
2.6.12-rc4 config on
<http://www.geocities.com/wolfgangpfeiffer/config-2.6.12-rc4-selinux1.txt>

The trick that did it, with a little help from Matthias Grimm
(Matthias: I recompiled the kernel again for getting the following to
work, curious as you made me with your suggestion how to get it
working .. :) ... :

$ diff -u /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf.050519 
--- /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf        2005-05-19 21:49:48.000000000 +0200
+++ /etc/pbbuttonsd.conf.050519 2005-05-19 21:49:32.000000000 +0200
@@ -4,7 +4,7 @@
 # [SYSTEM]
 #userallowed           = "paranoid" ; user who is allowed to use IPC
 autorescan            = no     ; automatic rescan of event devices
-CmdTimeout            = 10
+CmdTimeout            = 4
 
 # [MODULE POWERSAVE]
 onAC_policy           = performance    ; nochange, performance, custom or powersave


So setting pbbuttonsd to "CmdTimeout  = 10" seems to help ... :)

The CPU_FREQ kernel .config settings (URL please see above):

$ grep -i cpu config-2.6.12-rc4-selinux1.txt                
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT_DETAILS=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_PMAC=y
# CONFIG_NET_SCH_CLK_CPU is not set

HTH

Thanks, Matthias Grimm ... :)
