Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: powernowd
Everytime I load the CPU Frequency Applet, I got an error message saying
CPU Frequency Scaling is not Supported. But manually I can make it work
if I load p4-clockmod module.
---- This is my input ----
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo modprobe p4-clockmod
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo powernowd
powernowd: PowerNow Daemon v0.97, (c) 2003-2006 John Clemens
powernowd: Found 1 scalable unit: -- 1 'CPU' per scalable unit
powernowd: cpu0: 300Mhz - 2400Mhz (8 steps)

I can also load cpufreq_conservative, cpufreq_ondemand,
cpufreq_powersave, cpufreq_stats, cpufreq_userspace and speedstep-lib
without any problems.
However, I can't load the following modules, speedstep-smi, speedstep-
ich, acpi-cpufreq.
Maybe the powernowd is loading the wrong module for my processor.
