Hmm, I expect no PowerPlay things are implemented in the in-kernel radeon implementation yet? fglrx and aticonfig --list-powerstates and aticonfig --set-powerstate X could help a lot. This could at least explain the high temperature rates. Like that you could find out how much could be saved by graphics power savings. > i.e. I cannot move pointer, change VT nor > even ping the system (I use in-kernel radeon driver and Radeon Xpress > 200M card RC410). Sounds like the in-kernel radeon driver is not that stable yet? Yang Zhao once implemented PowerPlay support in radeonhd userspace: http://yangman.ca/git/xf86-video-radeonhd.git diffing it with the official radeonhd driver and implementing the same in the kernel's radeon driver might be necessary at some time? I once played a bit with it and I could imagine as both should be atombios based, it shouldn't be that hard to port and it got already some testing on specific HW. Matthew: Is it planned to add PowerPlay support to the radeon in-kernel driver at some time? If yes, I can help a bit. Hm, but all this has nothing to do with cpufreq which a Celeron is not capable of.
