Testing HD4670/RV730XT on current Karmic with xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.99+git20090629.f39cafc5-0ubuntu6). I had a hard time starting X, probably because of Bug #419126. It would freeze until I created an xorg.conf with Option DRI 0 and bypassed gdm with startx.
This what I found with an external power meter for the idle system: 93W with empty device section in xorg.conf, 750/873 86W with manually added ClockGating and ForceLowPowerMode, 375/435 and for comparison: 74W with Jaunty fglrx, 165/250 (engine/memory [MHz]) 65W without the card, running with intel onboard graphics Can't say anything about fan speed as this is a passively cooled card. Seems the first round of improvements has arrived and once manually enabled they do have an effect. Unfortunately the best I could do without touching source was 12W more than with fglrx on Jaunty. ForceLowPowerMode still only halfes both engine and mem clock. -- [RV620 HD 3400] No power management with ati driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xserver-xorg-driver-ati. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
