Same setup here:

  http://www.paul.sladen.org/thinkpad-r31/thinkpad.html

The gist is:

  $ echo '0%100%100%performance' | sudo tee -a /proc/cpufreq
  $ echo '0:0:0:powersave' | sudo tee -a /proc/cpufreq

Though it's probably easy to just install `cpudynd' and let that handle the
changing.  SuSE may have this packaged, or have something else fancy
they'd prefer you to use instead.
