install two cpufreq-applets to the gnome-panel. Configure them so that one follows CPU0 and the other follows CPU1 suspend. resume. cpufreq-applet will blow up. The kernel uses hotplug cpu to make CPU1 go away during suspend, and brings it back up on resume. For some reason, cpufreq-applet gets very confused about this.
is this still the case?
got fixed somehow a while back.
