SuSE has powersave daemon that scales freq and throttling.  I don't
recall the details, but it is a combination/reworking of widely
available packages.  I can get 3 solid hours of work out of a T41 w/
the 6 cell battery.  No laptop-mode.  No turning down the display
brightness.  Browsing the Web, reading e-mail, and doing software
development.  So WiFi card is on, disk spinning, etc.

HTH,
