Hello !
I have just installed mandriva 2010.1 on my laptop (HP nw8440 with ATI FireGL V5200 - R5xx). With the 2.6.34-tmb-laptop-10mdv kernel, KMS is ok and dynpm too but I don't find any power_profile or power_method to force power management to the lower mode (driver ati 6.13.0).
So, I have some questions :
1/ Is it possible to force the lowest power mode (without changing the kernel) ?
2/ I can recompile the 2.6.34 kernel if necessary but what are the latest patches to apply ? Is it necessary to recompile anything else (from git) ?
3/ Or, do I need to compile a 2.6.35 kernel ?
I'm in a cloud with all of things to do (with kernel, drm, ati driver, mesa and everything else...). Is there any little tutorial for the steps to follow (for general distrib or mandriva or...) ? (I have already compiled kernels).
Thanks in advance for your help.
