Hi,
I just monitored how powernowd works, and it's doing well. The CPU frequency 
drops and raises in 100MHz steps according to the cpu load. But only, if KDE 
is not running!
Under KDE I can select three profiles in the KLaptop menue, and they seem to 
fix the cpu freq at: 
powersave: 500 MHz
userspace: 1500 MHz
performance: 1500 MHz (whats the difference to userspace btw?)
powernowd, although still running, doesn't have any effect any more. No smooth 
cpu freq changing...
Cheers,
- Moritz
