The CPU frequency submenu in the context menu of the Kpowesave tray icon did
not appear, and "CPU Frequency Policy" pane in the scheme settings was
disabled (grayed and inactive). Examination of the code showed that this
happens when HAL reports that the user doesn't have privileges for setting
CPU frequency, or if the system lacks CPUfreq support. This seems to be
consistent with the specification of the CPUfreq functions in HAL [1].

analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which need to switch frequency at the same time: 0 1
hardware limits: 1000 MHz - 1.67 GHz
available frequency steps: 1.67 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1000 MHz
available cpufreq governors: ondemand, userspace, powersave, performance
current policy: frequency should be within 1000 MHz and 1.67 GHz.
The governor "ondemand" may decide which speed to use
within this range.
current CPU frequency is 1000 MHz.

Very curious...
