Michael,

I'm using a Dell Latitude D600 with acpi.

When using the "ondemand" I get the upper and lower freq's set to the same 
value, thus the
governor never switches up or down values:

dell:~# cpufreq-info

analyzing CPU 0:
  driver: centrino
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 600 MHz - 1.60 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.60 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.40 GHz, 1.20 GHz, 
1000 MHz, 800 MHz, 600 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 600 MHz (asserted by call to hardware).

To fix I have to force the upper limit to what it should be:

dell:~# cpufreq-set -u 1.6G

Then the system performs as expected:

dell:~# cpufreq-info
