Title:
  [Toshiba Satellite -10J] cpufreq is not working properly

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm trying Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 and I'm having a problem with cpufreq.
  The default governor is ondemand and it's not working properly, the
  frequency is stuck at the lowest one, which makes the notebook really
  annoying to use. I've tried the performance governor and it looks like
  the CPU goes to the maximum frequency, but when querying with cpufreq-
  info, I still see the minimum freq, but in the statistics about the
  frequencies used, I see the maximum frequency getting more and more
  percentage of use.

  Finally I tried the convervative governor, and it really look like it
  behaves like the ondeman should. The frequency is rapidily increased
  as needed and dropped down again when is not needed anymore. This is
  the only governor that seems to be changing the frequency in a way
  cpufreq-info can really see it, as I see the frequency going up and
  down when using that governor. The userspace governor also seems to be
  working as expected.

  Another strange this is that among the supported frequencies, I get
  1.60GHz (the maximum frequency supported) listed twice.

  Here is an example run of cpufreq-info:

  My notebook is a Toshiba Z830, I guess all the proper information has
  been submitted to the bug already, otherwise please let me know what
  other information do you need. It would be nice if the final Precise
  release goes out without this issue, as it really will get people a
  very bad impression about Ubuntu because their notebooks will seem to
  be too slow!

  Thanks.
