no cpu frequency scaling

[manuel fernandez]

edgy 2.6.17.10-generic with kubuntu
dell inspiron 6400 duo core.

cpu scaling not supported

in addition cannot change display brightness (which I could do with fn keys in dapper)

nor is the option of sleep available in kpowersave

[Timothy Smith (tas50)]

Is this a Core Duo or a Core 2 Duo?

The dell description of the processor is as follows:

1 U9625 PROCESSOR, 80539, YONAH, T2400, 1.83, C0
1 FH658 MODULE, LABEL, INTEL, CENTRINO, DUAL CORE YONAH, NOTEBOOK

My submission ID for Kubuntu edgy is
6a06870962b05059b5dcb9ae44875802

Things stand as follows:
with kpowersave no frequency scaling is allowed.
removed kpowersave (and powersaved) and installed powernowd via adept.
Then frequency scaling is possible. However, the screen intensity cannot be
changed. If I start with older kernel, then I can change the display
intensity.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

That's good, I'll mark this to Fix Released, then.
