BTW. I use the firefox 3.6.4 build 4 that is release on today. the slackware current use the 3.6.3.
In the 3.6.4 the flash is running on a separate process. It is more stable than 3.6.3.
But the 3.6.4 will be released on june 1. bad news.
I'm not on -current but I am running a custom compiled 2.6.33.4 kernel which the same as that in -current. Since I switched to this version the ondemand governor stopped working (I have an Asus eeePC 1005HA). Some Googling suggested that this might be a kernel issue. Are you experiencing a similar problem? If so, 2.6.33 might be a particularly bad choice for laptop/netbook owners. Pat doesn't make any kernel updates (to stable releases) except for security fixes but a backport might be a good idea for this case (I think there is a fix in the 2.6.34-rc tree).

If you see /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ then you'll see that many things changed with 2.6.33.
The rc.modules section on cpufreq handling is outdated. I think its better to use cpufrequtils directly now.

I use a custom kernel and the cpufreq support is built-in, so rc.modules shouldn't make a difference. I already checked that directory and the active governor seems to be ondemand, but the frequency is stuck at maximum when the processor is idle.
Anyway, I discovered another problem related to hda_intel: Sound keeps coming out of the speakers even when a headphone is plugged in. So I'm back to 2.6.32 for now.
