Hello, I have ATI 3200 HD, ubuntu karmic, and xorg-edgers ppa enabled. Im using open source ati driver. Im pretty happy with 2D, but I need some power saving ability. With fglrx my notebook was 10? cooler.
My xorg:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "true"
Option "DynamicPM" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
In xorg.log are these lines :
(**) RADEON(0): Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "true"
(**) RADEON(0): Option "DynamicPM" "true"
But I did not notice any change. What else should I do to keep my notebook cooler??
