Yesterday I succeeded to fix the power management on my Dell Latitude D600 including display of CPU frequency. In this untertaking, the following page was very helpful:

Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology and Demand-Based Switching on Linux

It was basically a question of which packages to install. Now I use kpowersave, powersaved, and acpi-support. This combination fixes all problems, in particular it reduces power consumption by adapting the CPU frequency to the current demand, see also:

I also tried kde-guidance-powermanager: Its CPU frequency display works fine now as well.
