Package: cpufrequtils Version: 007-1 After setting the governer "userspace", I am able to assign all cpu frequencies except 1.07GHz on the Intel Atom processor for the Dell Mini 9.

Everything worked out of the box. Not sure what could cause this. Maybe its not grabbing the arguments properly or the driver is not fully functional. : /
