Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

In Ubuntu 6.06 The Frequency scaling worked quite nice, and the system automatically adjusted the frequency according to the apps I use. After a dist-upgrade (i use edgy now) the Applet says

"Frequency scaling unsupported" and the cpu speed is at 1.6 GHz freezed (maximum speed) (it shows 100%)

Kernel: 2.6.17-10-386
CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor: 2.16.0.1

if you need more infos don't hesitate to contact me
kind regards
