finally I edited the sources (a version of 2.4.20 lying around here):
..
#define DEBUG_FREQ
..
/* Else check for TiPb 500 */
else if (machine_is_compatible("PowerBook3,2")) {
/* Mark:and 400 MHz */
if (cur_freq < 350000 || cur_freq > 550000)
goto out;
hi_freq = cur_freq;
low_freq = 300000;
has_freq_ctl = 1;
cpufreq_uses_pmu = 1;
recompiled and fired it up:

BTW, the power consumption as displayed by xpmumon changes only by approx.
0,5 Watt. I also do not understand why the bogomips numbers are not
exactly the same (598.01 versus 598.42).
Has it convinced you to include the Titanium 400 MHz into the future
cpufreq supported models?
Thank you for your work!
Salut
Mark
