--------
It says I don't have scaling capabilities, and I'm damn sure I have it!

I can change the governor with cpufreq-set, have all needed modules loaded (acpi-cpufreq, cpufreq-ondemand, etc.), I'm in the power group.  but solid is doing some crazy talk :S.

By the way, Core 2 Duo T8100

What does "solid-powermanagement query cpufreq" says?
Sounds like your HAL daemon is not enabling the cpufreq support, probably because another daemon is taking care of it (powernowd or such IIRC).
