Comment 4 for bug 691721

I also have a similar problem - changing settings through the indicator on a dual core system only changes the freq of the first CPU.

Here's the output of my /cat/proc/cpuinfo if i change the indicator to 2Ghz (for example):

processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel

and here is the output of cpufreq-info:

driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.
  hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 2.00 GHz
  available frequency steps: 2.00 GHz, 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 2.00 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 2.00 GHz.
  cpufreq stats: 2.00 GHz:1.51%, 1.67 GHz:0.07%, 1.33 GHz:0.09%, 1000 MHz:98.33% (86493)
analyzing CPU 1:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0 1
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 1
  maximum transition latency: 10.0 us.

  available frequency steps: 2.00 GHz, 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative, ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 2.00 GHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.
  cpufreq stats: 2.00 GHz:0.17%, 1.67 GHz:0.00%, 1.33 GHz:0.00%, 1000 MHz:99.83% (113)

It would be easier if the indicator could use one setting for both CPUs (perhaps offer a checkbox/setting "Use same frequence on all CPUs")...

I hope you have time to work on this, I'm loving the indicator.
