I'm using Debian :( ... 
Well i tried regular cpufreq with the powernow-k7 driver, but when i try to
change
 the frequency using the /proc-interface, my system stops working at all. 
The module loads withiut problems, giving me some frequencys to use. I also
tried 
compiling it into the kernel as you see in the dmesg-output (atachment). At
full speed 
the battery lasts for 2 hours, but i am sure it could last at least half an
hour more. 
Is there a user-support for cpufreq?
