I can confirm this issue. I have Athlon X2 6000+ CPU and after upgrading to 9.04, the applet controling the frequency doesn't allow me to change the frequency and it stays in the maximum frequency setting of 3.0GHz. Because i also have cpu temperature applet, i can verify that the power management

For those who say this is working for them, did you actually upgrade from 8.10 or did you do a clean install? This may be a bug for people upgrading only, though that's just speculation. Also, Intel uses a different driver (EIST) than AMD (cool'n'quiet). -- cpu frequency scaling not supported in

It's enabled by default, the way to shut it off has changed and the old method no longer works. So if anyone needs to disable this 'feature' - it likely requires hours of their time googling to fix it. Very smart move! To fix this issue: sudo nano /etc/hal/fdi/policy/disable-emulate3buttons.fdi
