Hi, I reported a bug because open source driver for AMD cards reduced my
laptops batter life to half:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8891
Please either implement the solution (shipping two xorg-server packages
and choosing from them during install), or extend the life of Mageia 2
to 5 years (or at least 3), nobody can keep using Mageia to kill his
battery life.
I know I asked about this before but it is critical.
Regards
I might be mistaken, but i think there is work going on to make this
happen... if it does, it'll need some manual intervention though...
(but unsure on this), we'll have to see...
Anything is OK, manual intervention or completely manual setup is OK,
just don't leave us in the cold by only supporting xorg 1.13
i am not certain, but i believe i have heard this.
I too suffer from this problem, even though the real problem is AMD/ATI
behaving cruelly and not suppporting their slightly older hardware
I know the problem is AMD, but hoped the community can offer a solution
to us (as it always do), I don't require a good VGA card so nowadays I
only buy laptops with integrated Intel graphic chip, and for heavy
gamers I think NVidia is better (but I don't recommend it, I still have
a feeling to AMD, they were always better in Performance/Price)
