> IIRC, the open source driver still has some problems with powersaving. This ^. This is the reason I'm stuck with the xorg packets put on hold for several months now and I can't upgrade them. Unfortunately I'm having one of those ATi Radeon graphics chipsets that won't be supported anymore with the new fglrx driver which is compatible with the xorg 1.12 ABI. I tried the open source radeon driver but it just doesn't cut it for me. When I run the radeon driver the fan is spinning like mad, making the machine very noisy; with fglrx the fan starts only when there is high CPU/graphics activity. I tried all the sugestions regarding slowing down the chip with the radeon driver (echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method; echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile), but I couldn't bring down the temperature enough so the fan would stop whining. So until the open source radeon improves the power management I'll keep fglrx and xorg 1.11. -- Adrian Fita -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
