Radeon DRM: Dynamic Power Management Updates

[d2kx]

Have you updated the firmware?

Yes, he finds the firmware but fails to initialize. I'll try again when an actual proper 3.11rc1 kernel matures to rule out the possibility of an Ubuntu failure of some sorts.

I would like to see more emphasis on bug fixing, there is a bug in the radeon driver, older than a year, that affects my laptop and makes it run much hotter than with Catalyst. Would like to see that fixed.

Sounds like something the latest DPM code in 3.11 would help with...

So HDMI audio is mostly done, DPM is done, UVD is done, 3D is great on everything except RadeonSI... That pretty much just leaves PowerXPress unless im missing some crucial feature of Catalyst (ignoring CrossFire, which im not even sure is supported on Linux to begin with)... Any plans (not you specifically, but the paid FOSS staff) to work on PowerXPress under X, or is that basically on hold until Wayland as to not duplicate the work?

With the providers stuff in xserver 1.14, powerXpress should work pretty well on most systems.

Just updated to latest Ubuntu drm-next kernel as of today, UVD still doesn't initialize with dpm enabled with my E-350. It tries several times, then gives up.

Okay...BASICALLY done. My point is: what comes next? Maintenance mode? Is there a big-item on the TODO list that the devs have been wanting to tackle?

EDIT: 3D is not a valid answer to me >.> Now that we are at 3.0+ I consider it okay to just get that done gradually in time.

ttm de-fragmenter anyone? To help with memory thrashing.

And better logic for deciding what gets to be in VRAM.
