    It is odd that kernelnewbies.org did not mention the updates to compcache in their release notes. I believe that compcache support is supposed to be at the stage where using the in-kernel code is recommended by its developers now.

      To bad full proper Phenom II x 6 support wasn't included in this release.

        Does someone know if Radeon (r700) KMS can now run as cool as UMS? Also, is there an equivalent now for:

        Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "on"

        for KMS?

            For r600/r700, pass this argument in the kernel command line:

            radeon.dynpm=1.

            And thank the developers, for it's working great.

                Will try out as soon as 2.6.34 arrives in Gentoo.

                Is it possible to force a constant low power mode though? (Like ForceLowPowerMode in UMS X.Org.)

                    Little steps, cowboy.
                    This power management implementation permits the r600/r700 GPUs not to burst into flames.

                    It will be, when the new radeon power management code (which implements voltage variation, too) currently in the "drm-radeon-testing" git branch will be merged in Linus' development tree for 2.6.35. A week or two. Or three.

                    The developers implemented a sysfs interface which permits enabling a dynamic power management, or a single power state for the GPU/memory.

                    And that's great.

                    But I haven't tested it all, yet. I'll report if I do, before the mainline merge.
