I too have the same system and same bug as the original post:  Dell Latitude X1 
notebook.
This problem began for me when I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy.

My kernel is:  2.6.22-14-generic

I scanned through Related Bugs:  
Bug #93404
Bug #67341
Bug #132271
all have similar problems, but can't find exactly my situation as for me the 
problem is much more sporadic.  Sometimes I relaunch powernowd and the scaling 
works for awhile up to the system max of 1100MHz, then after awhile I only have 
600MHz and 800MHz, then it just locks onto 600MHz.  As far as I can tell, 
without reboot or restart of powernowd, the issue does not self-resolve.  
Although, as I type this, I see the CPUfreq applet suddenly display 800MHz.  I 
still cannot get to 100%.

Please note that the X1 has no fan and CPU temperatures run high.  Idle
in a cold room is 52C, 1100MHz in this same room can get as high as 70C.
