Got a workload that runs badly on the r600g Radeon Gallium3D driver? You can help fix it! Optimizations are coming to the open-source Radeon Linux driver for video memory usage...

I have however, one problem with it: the cpu cooling is far too weak. I use TurionPowerControl to enable C1E and htc at startup, if not (and this is a problem in recovery when bypassing sysinit) I can guarantee it ends in an mce followed by a kernel shutdown.
But when it's jumping in and out of htc slowdown, won't the results of your research be severely affected by this malfunction? I don't want to post corrupt data

I try to help however I have couple questions.
At first I use Wsnipex MESA ppa as I mainly use XBMC and Oibaf's PPA not always worked with it.
Question 1.
Do I need to purge Wsnipex PPA before I execute
sudo add-apt-repository ppaibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Question 2.
Do I need to restart my desktop before/after update to Oibaf's ppa?
Question 3.
I have Steam games however I do not know when my steam library stored. Where is it? (default)
Question 4.
How and where I need to setup the environment variable?
I know it is basic questions, but not everybody experts here. THANK YOU/

2. All 3D apps started before the upgrade will still use the old driver, so if you want compiz to use the new drivers, 'yes'.

I've pushed a stats7 branch, rebased to work with the radeonsi naming changes, and added a 32-bit fix for LFS (2g file limit). Can any SI user test?
