OK. To get my nx9420 working "perfectly" under Linux (Ubuntu-Edgy) the
following was required:

- make sure you use Bios Version F17 from September 2006
- put a line with "rmmod psmouse" in /etc/init.d/halt
- put following in /etc/init.d/powernowd right aber the shebang:

echo 1833000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 1833000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

now shut down your computer, remove all power sources (battery and psu)
for some seconds, boot linux and have a working and updating acpi as
wenn as freq scaling.

the "rmmod psmouse" avoids, that after one reboot your notebook comes
back in a kind of "bad state", which makes 1.8ghz unable to be used as
well as a stuck battery monitor.
