Just a thought: you had radeon.dpm=0 set for a long time according to some of
your posts. Are you sure you've removed that from your Kernel command line?

I can't tell if the reclocking is working as Marek reported in comment #131
yet. I might have time fireing a game up during the weekend. But should that be
a problem I can just open a new bug. I don't think this possible reclocking
issue should keep this bug open.

Yes, that sounds reasonable: the person who commits the DDX patch can close
this bug, because then all pieces should be at least in Git.

The glyph stuff is already tracked in bug 81930. We still need bugs for the
poor performance and crashing the GPU by running Unigine Heaven (you have to
actually reboot, otherwise the screen won't come up again, in fact the screen
is not just black, it loses its signal). And possible other issues I'm not
seeing myself or just have not noticed yet.
