RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
Are these patches included in the snapshot 4.4.0rc1 aka 4.3.99.901 and what should they do if you set the option.

RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
nope. these are still patches at the moment. They'll probably be included post 4.4 after some testing. setting the option enables dynamic clock scaling. The various clocks will adjust their frequency on the fly to save power.

RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
Thanks. I don't get to test it until the laptop with radeon mobility 9200 comes next week. I understand the 9200 is the same as the 9000 except that the agp is 8x instead of 4x. Can I specify agp 8x to take advantage of the higher speed?

The drivers do not currently have support for agp 8x. Michel has a patch on his website from ati, but it hasn't been applied/tested yet as far as I know. I don't have the link off hand. I doubt you will notice any difference between 8x and 4x. Let me know how it goes. Alex --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks.

RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
one thing you will run into is that if your new motherboard supports 8x and your radeon supports 8x, you will need a patched version of agpgart that supports 8x or the DRI will not work if you are using linux 2.4.x. 2.6 supports 8x natively.

RE: [XFree86] radeon power management patches
if you are running a cvs snapshot you can just copy the radeon_drv.o and ati_drv.o into your current installation. If you are running 4.3.0, they should still work, but you will need to get a newer version of the XFree86 binary. one is available here for instance: http://www.botchco.com/alex/radeon/mergedfb/cvs/cvs-2003-7-31/final/ or here: http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/extras/ Backup your old versions first.
