https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94061 --- Comment #7 from Klaus Maier <abcdmail@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Tested your suggestion to activate the powergating by removing the comments you mentioned above w/ 3.19.3 and radeon.bapm=1. This even raised the power consumption about 5 W more as w/o it. This "feature" is completely broken. I recompiled the *complete* kernel to test your suggestion. This is a pain. Is there an external radeon module which can be compiled outside of the complete kernel and which can be used with more than one kernel version - like fglrx? It's much more easy to change the complete video stack with catalyst as with radeon. The radeon stack architecture is completely unusable because it is spread over the whole system and I even have to always change the complete kernel if there is a problem w/ the graphics driver. The kernel change most often results in other problems w/ other hardware which is broken on other versions because of missing QA. Another question: Why can't you see this while programming? Didn't you check your code w/ a ammeter? According to http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/ DPM is done for Kaveri. This is obviously wrong and you know about it but you're nevertheless claiming the opposite. -- 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
