X.Org ATI Driver Supports New Power Options

aticonfig --lsp
Error: POWERplay is not supported on your hardware.
aticonfig --od-gettemperature
ERROR - ATI Overdrive(TM) is not supported on the Default Adapter - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
This is with fglrx. The last time I tested the adeon or radeonhd it didn't even work, just got a white screen, or a gray, caleoidoscope-like screen, but that was long ago.
Where do I set DynamicPM or ForceLowPowerMode options? xorg.conf? aticonfig?

Yeah, I think Overdrive is a desktop fglrx option, not mobility. Not 100% sure about that though.
The new power options are for the radeon driver, so aticonfig won't work (it's part of fglrx). The power management options for radeon are set in xorg.conf.
If you're going to run the radeon driver, you'll need to uninstall fglrx first and reboot to make sure the fglrx kernel module isn't running. Some distros will take care of this for you automatically. If you haven't run radeon for a while then you probably don't have the new drm with 6xx/7xx support -- get that from the 6xx-7xx-support branch of mesa/drm. Finally you'll need the latest radeon driver from git.Test signature

Haven't tried the new ati rewrite yet. Will do when we have better 3D support for r600 :-)
