(Get the code!)
For using the ondemand scaler you need to load the cpufreq_ondemand module.
# load module for current session
sudo modprobe cpufreq_ondemand
# and add it permanently to booting sequence
sudo echo cpufreq_ondemand >> /etc/modules
BTW: the ondemand scaler gives me around 10°C cooler system (47 against 58 with performance scaler, which seems default for the ubuntu kernel). The fan is most times off, which also causes a better battery runtime.
