Hi!

4.3-rc7 kernel, graphics works reasonably well in 1600x1200 mode. But
my monitor is native 1920x1080, so that mode looks pretty ugly on
screen. If I go to 1920x1080, I see colored horizontal lines (often
black) as soon as there's graphics activity.

This is Acer notebook,

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]

Ouch, and power consumption seems to be 8W too high. (25W instead of
17W), I believe it started when I added radeon firmware, but will
check. It does not go lower even when I switch to text console.

Any ideas?

Alex probably knows more about this, but it sounds like problems with switching the memory clocks on 3D load.

Try to disable power management completely with radeon.dpm=0 on the kernel command line or nailing the hardware at a specific power level using sysfs.

Power consumption would be totally awkward, but it should help nailing down the problem.

Regards,
Christian.
