[radeonhd] X1300 extremly hot

Hello,
my X1300 runs extremly hot, I don't know how to test the exact temperature,
but by simply checking the heatsink with my fingers, I guess it is above 80°
or 90°C (an old rule for chemists says, if you touch it and it hurts, the
temperature is above 60°C). Actually, I guess I could use it for cooking...
Actually I already have a 780G based mainboard, but the board doesn't have two
DVI outputs for dual display. So I thought I add a cheap r500 based card...
Due to this new card, the cooling of my low noise system is not sufficient any
more :( Using only the onboard card, the board temperature was at 45°C and
the CPU at 33°C. Actually, I thought that even the 45°C was due to the video
card. Now after adding the new X1300 video card both temperatures have
increased by 10°C! And that even though the mainboard bios seems to have
disabled the onboard video card, *humpf*!
This is a passively cooled card, but is it supposed to run that hot?
I'm now at Yang Zhao's pm-branch, but the temperature doesn't have decreased
:(
xrandr --prop:
POWERMODE: 0 (0x00000000) range: (0,-1)
(II) RADEONHD(0): Initializing power management functionalities
(II) RADEONHD(0): Calling DynamicClockGating (enable)
(II) RADEONHD(0): DynamicClockGating Successful
(II) RADEONHD(0): Query for VoltageObjectInfo contents: not implemented
(WW) RADEONHD(0): Failed to read VoltageObjectInfo
(WW) RADEONHD(0): Failed to read power modes table
All I need is is a 2D card with 2 DVI outputs and a very little XV scaling.
Once a year I also use google-earth, but so rarely, that I also can skip that
entirely. Is there really no sane video card out there, that simply puts the
image on both screens without being suitable for preparing my meals?
There is is modified radeon-tool which can enable powermanagement on X1900
based card. Unfortunately it crashes my X1300 based system. Is there any
chance I could modify it to work for my X1300? Or is the driver still missing
something? Which of the documents of http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/ is for X1300
chips?
Thanks,
Bernd
