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. Tom Corner On 17-Nov-2003 Alex Deucher wrote: The patch available below adds dynamic power management support (dynamic clock scaling) to the radeon driver. It is based on code I've

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. Alex --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Are these patches included in

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 If you are running 4.3.0, they should still work, but you will need to get a newer version of the XFree86 binary.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:

The patch available below adds dynamic power management support (dynamic clock scaling) to the radeon driver. It is based on code I've been testing from Hui Yu. It seems to work fine in basic testing on my m6 and the 9200 in my desktop. More testing would be much appreciated (especially
