Hi, This problem still exists in current debian squeeze (HAL version: 0.5.14-3) But there exists a workaround by adding the command to restart hal to /etc/rc.local . After this the cpu frequency can be controlled by kde4.
I looked at the startup messages and noticed that acpi-cpufreq is started after hald is started. I think this is the reason why cpu frequency scaling doesn't work with hal. The order in which acpi-cpufreq and hald are started has to be changed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
