One last issue,
For some reason, my laptop runs hotter with the radeonhd driver. Does this make sense?? Is is possible?? Are there any tweaks that can be made to cool it down besides throwing water on it?
That's because radeonhd doesn't downclock engine or memory by default. Actually we support only engine down clocking for now and it's available only with git version of driver (1.2.5 is too old). You can use Option "ForceLowPowerMode" then. You can also experiment with Option "LowPowerModeEngineClock" "int" just get: grep "Default Engine" /var/log/Xorg.0.log and divide clock by more than 2 (for example clock/4 or even /8). -- Rafał Miłecki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
