I've just recently gotten DRM working with a ATI Mobility 3650 (r600) on Debian in a Thinkpad W500. I've read that power management wasn't support when running KMS. So I've turned off KMS for the time being. I have the following options in my xorg.conf file:
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "off"
Option "DynamicPM" "on"
I had to turn off ForceLowPowerMode as I was getting some pixel corruption in the mouse cursor.
I've also put this in my /etc/modules file:
radeon dynclks=1 modeset=0
The laptop is running much warmer then with the Integrated Intel driver. It's showing 129F with the fan running at 3400rpm. I was seeing 105F with the fan running at 2500rpm with the Intel driver.
FGLRX was running around 112F when I last tried it. I pretty haven't used FGLRX for anything as it still locks the computer when running a rss glx screensaver.
Are there any other ideas or options that I can provide in order to cool down the ATI video?
