https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85021 --- Comment #5 from higuita <higuita@xxxxxxx> --- The gpu is one old ATI HD2600XP AGP: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: AMD/ATI [Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.] RV630 XT [Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP] I usually use this command to see what level the gpu is: cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/64/radeon_pm_info I run your script and got the same result. Using auto i get the low level on normal desktop use, high on tvtime, youtube and 3D games, mid i can only get if i do a maximized glxgears or a "while true; do dmesg; sleep .3; done"... and on this last one, after a few seconds, it jumps to high. Also, stopping the applications and wait a few seconds, the GPU will downgrade from level 2, to level 1 for 1 second, then level 0 here one example to the leve downgrade: balanced uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 power level 1 sclk: 30000 mclk: 60000 vddc: 1080 53000 balanced auto uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 power level 1 sclk: 30000 mclk: 60000 vddc: 1080 k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp-Core0: +30.0°C temp-Core1: +34.0°C radeon-pci-0100 Adapter: PCI adapter temp-GPU: +52.0°C (crit = +120.0°C, hyst = +90.0°C) w83627thf-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter in0: +1.34 V (min = +1.10 V, max = +1.55 V) in1: +2.99 V (min = +2.85 V, max = +3.15 V) in2: +3.33 V (min = +3.14 V, max = +3.47 V) +5V: +4.96 V (min = +4.51 V, max = +5.49 V) in4: +4.08 V (min = +4.08 V, max = +4.08 V) 5VSB: +5.04 V (min = +4.51 V, max = +5.49 V) Vbat: +3.30 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V) fan-CPU: 1360 RPM (min = 998 RPM, div = 8) fan-Power: 774 RPM (min = 664 RPM, div = 8) fan-Case: 1298 RPM (min = 799 RPM, div = 8) temp-M/B: +27.0°C (high = +40.0°C, hyst = +37.0°C) sensor = thermistor temp-CPU: +36.5°C (high = +53.0°C, hyst = +50.0°C) sensor = thermistor temp-Case: +30.7°C (high = +37.1°C, hyst = +36.0°C) sensor = thermistor cpu0_vid: +1.475 V beep_enable: enabled balanced uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 power level 0 sclk: 15000 mclk: 42000 vddc: 1000 52000 balanced auto uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 power level 0 sclk: 15000 mclk: 42000 vddc: 1000 k8temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp-Core0: +30.0°C temp-Core1: +33.0°C By the way, on 3D games, the GPU can reach 80-84ºC, but with tvtime it only goes to 60-65ºC (both on level 2) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
