Description: [b]Introduction[/b] This QML plasmoid applet allows you to control and monitor the dynamic power management status of AMD/ATI graphics cards. Linux Kernel >= 3.11 and KDE >= 4.11 are required. It does **NOT** work with the proprietary **fglrx** driver. [b]Usage[/b] 1. Kernel 3.11.x or 3.12.x must have the argument [u]radeon.dpm=1[/u] to enable Radeon\'s Dynamic Power Management (DPM). 2. You also have to enalbe normal users write to some /sys/class/drm/card0/device/ files by implementing commands below: [indent]sudo chmod a+w /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level sudo chmod a+w /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_dpm_state[/indent] 3. Install this plasmoid and put it on your desktop (doesn\'t support panel at this stage). On some distributions like Fedora, you may want to switch to root by [b]su[/b] instead of using [b]sudo[/b]. If you find it displays incorrectly, click the refresh button. :D [b]Debug Info[/b] You can check the current power level, voltage information by looking into the debug subsystem. [indent]sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/radeon_pm_info[/indent] [i]I don\'t think these information are helpful nor useful, thus they won\'t be displayed in this applet.[/i] [b]Related[/b] If you want to know more about the tunable options, please check AMD\'s Alex Deucher\'s blog post: [url]http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=57[/url] JOB RECOMMENDATION: more jobs: http://KDE-Apps.org/jobs/ _______________________________________________ Kde-announce-apps mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-announce-apps
