Apparently something is broken within KDE here. I just checked, and I don't have the support for CPU scaling. And I sort-of remember having it before (on the same hardware). IIRC it would scale the frequency down when in powersave mode (ie. when I run it on batteries). Let me check... Well, frequency scaling actually *works*, just checked by (un)plugging and reading /proc/cpuinfo, it does scale from 1.5 GHz to 1 GHz when on batteries. It seems that just the PowerDevil GUI is broken and doesn't allow you to choose any settings. In systemsettings -> Advanced -> Power Management -> Edit profiles -> CPU and System, the "CPU frequency scaling policy" drop-down box is empty and does not provide any options to set up, while in Capabilities tab it says that I don't have any scaling capability. But it does actually work, ie. it does scale the frequency when (un)plugged or when swithcing profiles. At least this is the situation on my machine.
