Just for clarification:
You are running Ubuntu Dapper, the old versions were powersave-0.11.2
and kpowersave-0.5.2 from Ubuntu, and you upgraded to the Debian
versions powersave-0.11.6 and kpowersave-0.5.4, right?
What kernel are you running, is it the stock Ubuntu kernel?
Please check, what cpufreq modules are loaded (lsmod | grep cpufreq)
resp. what governors are available and the currently active one:
"cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors"
"cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor"
Is your speedstep module loaded (probably speedstep_centrino)?
Does it work if you set CPUFREQ_CONTROL="userspace"
in /etc/powersave/cpufreq?
Judging from the picture you provided, you are running kpowersave-0.5.5,
did you compile it yourself? 0.5.5 is not yet uploaded to unstable.

Cheers,
Michael
