  • Do the aticonfig --set-powerstate and aticonfig --lsp options no longer exist?

    When I try either of these options I get

    aticonfig: unrecognized option '--lsp'
    aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

    Does the latest fglrx driver not make use of these power setting options any longer? In which case how is low power setting configured on the card now?

    It seems fglrx still installs the script /etc/acpi/fglrx-powermode.sh and in that script there are calls such as

    /usr/bin/aticonfig --set-powerstate=$powermode --effective=now"

    which one can see are intended to set low power setting whenever the events laptop lid closed, or AC disconnect occur (see /etc/acpi/events/fglrx-ac-aticonfig and /etc/acpi/events/fglrx-lid-aticonfig), but these calls are going to do nothing at all without aticonfig having the --set-powerstate option.

    On top of all this I noticed that /etc/init.d/atieventd is not starting the atieventsd on startup, and I traced this to the fact the DAEMONPATH=/usr/sbin/atieventsd was looking for the daemon is sbin when it actually exists in regular old bin.

    Is this all intentional, have these methods of controlling power been superseded?
