Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The powerdev group should have privileges for the
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.CPUFreq interface, otherwise users cannot
use the interface to change CPU frequency settings (for instance with
kpowersave).
This patch fixes it:

Close, the modules were not loaded since I removed powersaved... It works now.
What's more, it works without my HAL permissions change. So it seems that the
problem was due to something else, and it seems to be gone now...
Closing the bug, sorry for the trouble.
