That sounds about right for the free driver.  I get 75 with the ATI Catalyst 
driver on my T41.  Do you have dri enabled?

Known issue.  Supposedly there is a driver from synaptics, but I have not 
checked it out.  Fabrice Bellet gives some info here:

Same here but I do not even get battery status.

I use cpufreqd.  Set up policy in cpufreqd.conf and you can either set it 
manually by writing to /proc/cpufreq or cpufreqd will autodetect change in ac 
power state.

I am not interested in this so I cannot answer.  Icauses more problems than it 
is worth in my estimation.

I think with the Catalyst driver from ATI.

Don't know, but I think there is someone working on an open-source driver
