    It doesn't look like it worked for me:

    x@Akaigo-Arc:~$ dmesg | grep dpm
    [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-996-generic root=UUID=c569a25a-4c5c-4731-8836-2bdfd7ce3d7e ro quiet splash radeon.audio=1 radeon.dpm=1 vt.handoff=7

    [ 29.492608] [drm:radeon_pm_init_dpm] *ERROR* radeon: dpm initialization failed

    I'm using kernel 3.10.0-996-generic (yes, it has the patches) and I have a HD5400 Radeon card.

    This is what the GRUB CMD line looks like (of /etc/default/grub):
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1 radeon.dpm=1"
    There is also no /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method file too.
    I didn't get the CEDAR firmware, but agd5f said that 7xx+ GPUs only need it....

      Btw. I've installed the kernel from here:
      http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa...-next/current/
      Thanks, so not just me. Must be something to iron out with the RV710's.

      Also, DPM doesn't just work, it's works excellently. My desktop is usually loud as shit with the opensource drivers, so even if it was just slightly worse than Catalyst, I would notice instantly. But it's completely quiet.
      That's what amazes me, I'm still pinching myself hoping I'm not dreaming, because I'm *so* used to the FOSS Radeon drivers always turning my mobile PC's into portable heaters that sound like jet planes taking off

      Anyway seems UVD is failing for most here, not just me, so I guess that will be fixed in time. TBH it's not affecting my use cases, but then maybe I haven't tried playing a Hi-Def H.264 file or something...

        Maybe have a look here http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Radeon#Firmware

        Even on my Radeon 4500 series card I downloaded the *_smc file...so I don't know, I'm a bit confused, but that list helped me.

          Do you mean that R7xx+ as in R700 (which would be HD4xxx) and up need the _smc.bin firmware? If that's so I do in fact need the CEDAR firmware (I didn't use it on the first try).

          Hmm.... what smc.bin did you download?

              Last time I saw that, my Radeon 9700 Mobility was dying from overheating. Now it only works in text mode (tty).

                I downloaded the RV710_smc.bin for my Sony Vaio laptop (the 4xxx series, a RV710 chipset), but for my netbook (the APU) I didn't download any. So I guess indeed Alex meant the R700 series and up needs the smc files, except the APUs.

                Indeed, thankfully that isn't the cause here though. When I actually got the correct firmware, the frosting up only happens during Kernel Mode Setting taking place (instead of after X starts), as a couple others here have also experienced and then works perfectly fine. Besides failing to start UVD anyway.

                  It works! Just needed the firmware. No "frosting screen" or anything. Laptop's temp is as if it's set to "mid" but without loosing performance.

                  Thanks to all that helped.
