Comment 29 for bug 177076

On updated Fedora 8, on Dell Inspiron 9300 laptop, I have the same problem.
Frequency policy is stuck at 800 MHz. Scaling worked in the past on some
earlier FC, not sure if I paid attention so much on FC7.

  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0
  hardware limits: 800 MHz - 1.73 GHz
  available frequency steps: 1.73 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.07 GHz, 800 MHz
  available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace, performance
  current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 800 MHz.
                  The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency is 800 MHz.
