Re: "if you remove kernel parameters radeon.dpm=1
radeon.audio=0 are there any visual glitches?"
I believe so, but I'll check this again & send you another email.
As I mentioned in several bug reports, my goal is to minimize
the operating temperature of this laptop, which tends to run
hot even in Windows 7.
The good news is that Ubuntu 15.05 runs less hot than Win7 under
exactly the same workload -- playing the same videos with VLC.
Interestingly, the DIS GPU takes a lot more power to display
hidef H264 video than does the CPU, so the lowest power way to
play videos is to keep the DIS GPU completely turned off, and
to clamp the operating freq of the triple cores to 800MHz. Thanks
to clever programming for h264 decode, there is still enough
computing power of 3 cores at 800MHz to display the video.
For 1080p, I have to unclamp the cpu frequencies ("ondemand" v
"low"), but this raises the operating temperature by only a
handful of degrees C.
