says:
"On the PowerBook G4 computer, the slower clock speed is 100 MHz slower
than the rated speed: 300 MHz on a 400-MHz model, 400 MHz on a 500 MHz
model."

I commented out the 3 lines, recompiled Ben's 2.4.20-ben10 and voilą:
tomcat:~# cat /proc/cpufreq
minimum CPU frequency - maximum CPU frequency - policy

The time reported by xpmumon and klaptopd have increased by some estimated
10%. (from 180 Min to 200 Min.)
As far as I can tell, it runs as fine. I will report any trouble.
Salut
