Hi, I've been interestingly following the progress of this driver for a long time now, looking for a full support of my laptop's features under Linux and radeonhd is the last piece of code needed to achieve that purpose. Alright, to my question: I've noticed that my laptop's fan starts spinning loudly as soon as the kernel boots and it doesn't stop at all until I shutdown the laptop. Now, I suspected for a long time that it was the CPU fan which is causing all this trouble but actually it's more likely that the Radeon HD which is the source. Under Windows Vista the fan(s) work as expected. Yesterday, I did a small experiment to verify this idea and actually I went ahead and uninstalled the Windows ATI Catalyst driver suite and rebooted the machine. Well, now I'm having the fan noise/spinning all the time under Windows too! :) I'm pretty sure that it's about GPU power management. Under Linux there isn't such a thing and I know that the my RadeonHD 3650's BIOS (M86, I used the RBE, http://bios.techpowerup.com/rbe/) contains different tables for the GPU and memory clocks which can be used to set the power consumption for the graphics card depending on the power management policy (or simply the user preferences). It's also possible the set the GPU Vcore to 0.9V and 1.1V. My question is: is it possible to add an option in radeonhd to allow the user to select the Vcore or the memory/GPU frequency? I'm not looking for a fully featured power management support, just this possibility and I'm pretty confident that it's possible to do so using some ATOMBIOS calls. (Am I right, here?) Any comments? Keep up the good work! And guys, any dates for the availability of the 2D/3D acceleration? :) Best regards, Ilyes Gouta. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
