I use pbbuttonsd, with an iBook G3 (powerbook 4,2). I don't know whether it manages to cpuscale, but indeed stops the hdd and it dims the screen. I know it did dim the screen, now I don't know because I had broken wire on the logic board that prevented the screen to switch on. I bypassed the circuit and now I can see only at full or zero brightness. If you are interested or have backlight problem see http://tinyurl.com/l7jzn .
