Referring to http://bugs.debian.org/373133 Michael, No good I'm afraid. I get the same behaviour with 0.14.0 as I did with 0.12.18/ 0.12.20: With powersaved running: current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 1.60 GHz. Remove AC power: current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz. Reapply power: current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz. The only method I can restore the upper limits is by: # cpufreq-set -u 1.6G ; which I'm getting quite good at ;-) Without powersaved running and remove power: current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 600 MHz. Without powersaved running and reapply power: current policy: frequency should be within 600 MHz and 1.60 GHz. I'd be happy to try alternatives..

I'll give it a go and let you know how it fairs..

Ah, a secret deb's cache, excellent. I'll also take the oppportunity to
have a look at the newer network-manager{-kde} to see if that is also
fixing some issues I'm having ;-)

At least looking at the source code of powersaved it seems that powersaved is not fiddling around with this values. If you don't run powersaved and you load the ondemand driver is your lower and upper freq. set correctly?

Bug#373133: centrino governor "ondemand" sets upper and lower freqs to same value
Package: powersaved Version: 0.12.18-1 Severity: normal 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 cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please. 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 cpufrequtils 002: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2006 Report errors and bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED], please. 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 1.60 GHz.
