We discussed we will want static power management eventually, but I believe we want this in other form. First this should use values for engine/memory parsing AtomBIOS data table. So it's the same thing I want to have for my dynamic downclocking. Then we should make it possible to enable/disable this static downclockin on the fly. For that we will need to think about some API. Maybe we could implement that in debugfs first, but not sure if this is worth. That way we will use some find of workaround for something we will finally have rewrite anyway. The problem is what API should we use. Should that be some new device class? Or maybe some ioctl? Maybe we should expand xrandr for per-GPU properties? -- Rafał ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
