Hi, When an ATi card is idle, does it then use less power? If not, have AMD released specs so it can be done through the driver? Hugs, Louise -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Powersaving has apparently turned out to be a mine field regarding docs,
so this will take some time. Eventually, we'll get there, but not right
now.

Do you know how many procent we are talking about in power saving that is possible? 5%, 25%, 50% ??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org

Would it be possible to have two settings for now.. 1. Low power mode 2. High power mode And have them settable via an xorg.conf file option And then as the driver gets better add a dynamic option where the video chip runs in a low power mode by default and then if the command queue gets to deep (some depth value) the core is run in high power mode until the queue gets shallow again? On my laptop, when I am on battery I would prefer to be always in low power mode.
