I am using a new(er) Macbook Core Duo at 2.0Ghz. I have the same issue. I am running Edgy Eft and the frequency scaling does not appear to be working. When idle, the unit runs noticably hotter than OS X and the battery life is about half of what it is when running OS X 10.4.8.
Please let me know what information you need me to provide to help diagnose this problem. -- Battery goes dead in half the time it takes OS X. https://launchpad.net/bugs/77020 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
