Thanx, now the module loads and (partly) works: I now have 500MHz and 650MHz *only* as selection and I can switch between them both. But why only this two options? If I enable speedstep in bios and force it, Linux reports 133MHz or alike as CPU speed,which seems to be a more realistic lower limit, as I don't think going to 500MHz will save me much. Anyway, shoudl a quirk for this notebook be added somewhere? Do you need additional infos for this, in case? Is there a possibility to get the ACPI P-state driver going? Perhaps this would give me a lower minimum clock. Or is the ACPI crew responsible for this driver and should I ask them?
