Hello.
I have an x1950pro that runs at very high temperatures with the radeon driver: idles at 69C, and quickly goes up to 80+C when playing games. I haven't though too much of it until now (stupid, I know), as I don't play that much on linux, but the new HB games changed that and I've noticed some big problems: I get white spots on the screen and occasionally a TTM-related Oops. Both likely mean bad VRAM, and the high temperatures might have caused it over time.
My card does not seem to "include the appropriate power state tables in the vbios", as I don't get the power_{method,profile} controls in sysfs (dynclks=1 also does nothing). Furthermore, the fan's duty cycle doesn't change at all, so it might need software control.
dmesg.
Any ideas on how to reduce those temps?
