Hi Bart and Matthijs,
    thanks for your hints. I am running version 1.49. Also, I've checked 
that battery polling is really enabled (I see that in 
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/battery-level-polling.conf), so it is likely the 
case.... I've just checked with the Debian packaget maintainer, the new 
package should go out in few days, so I will try....

Meanwhile, can you please comment on the second question? Since 
laptop-mode can deal with CPU frequency
scaling, one probably does not need cpufreqd (standalone daemon that 
does similar job). Does someone have any experience which of the two 
ways are better/suitable for certain cases ?


Best regards
