Hi,

I have a compaq nx9010 laptop, running on kernel 2.4.9-gentoo-r13, with 
ACPI enabled and speedstep for frequency scaling.

Which variant of speedstep?

...and this is also what speedstep does - it switches between these two 
frequencies, 96% and 100% speed. Isn't this absolutely nonsense? Only 4% 
speed difference !?

It most likely is nonsense...

On the other hand my dsdt contains two entries in the _PSS section, one 
for 3059MHz (100%) and one for 1596MHz (~50%) - but those two 
frequencies appear nowhere in /proc or /sys/devices/... !?

What does using the acpi-cpufreq driver lead to?

Is speedstep independend from ACPI ?

It depends on the driver and sometimes on driver settings whether it is
independend from ACPI or not.
