I have absolutely no knowledge of ACPI and all, but perhaps the following link will provide the information you need: http://www3.sympatico.ca/howlettfamily/epia/epia_howto/index.html According to section 8.1, it is possible to get frequency throttling to work, but with kernel 2.6.6 you need to patch the source and compile from scratch. I have done this, compiled the kernel 'the Debian way' with help from: http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm ... and use the '.config' from the link supplied in section 11.1 from the first URL I wrote above.
