Hi all.
I'm the lucky owwner of a laptop (Dell XPS Studio 16) with an ATI Radeon HD 3670. I've tried ATI proprietary drivers but had to switch -- reason number 1 is I'm now with kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r1 -- I'm running Gentoo Linux BTW.
While I was using that driver I noticed my battery lasted at least 2 hours with ATI/AMD power saving option checked (don't remember the exact name). Now I'm using radeon Open Source driver it only lasts 1 hour and a half... (Option "DynamicClocks" is set to "On" in xorg.conf.)
Did anybody succeed in having the battery last the same as with fglrx?
Thanks in advance.
