Both setting the governor (manually or through an applet) and powernowd do the 
same work, so it can cause problems.

As it seems that the gnome applet to set the different governors is buggy (you 
should file a bug!), I'd rather use powernowd, mainly because it can control 
both cores with its default config (only dapper version!).

| Sorry about my ignorance

| powernowd controll it alone?
For powernowd to be able to control both cpus' speed the governor has to be 
set to userspace.  Try to set cpu0 governor to userspace (you modified it to 
ondemand, didn't you?), then check both cpus are scaling fine, for instance 
adding 2 cpufreq monitoring applets to your bar, then configuring one to 
monitor cpu1 (otherwise both were going to monitor cpu0).

You maybe will have to restart powernowd service.

I'll answer you there  ;)

Good luck  ;)
