Public bug reported: hello, I have a laptop with a nvidia 330M graphics card (no igpu intel integrated) since ubuntu 18.04, I noted that the frequencies used was not the lowest, which resulted in heating my laptop a little more.
an example, here are my frequencies of my graphics card: cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate 03: core 135 MHz shader 270 MHz memory 135 MHz 07: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz memory 324 MHz 0f: core 575 MHz shader 1265 MHz memory 790 MHz DC: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz memory 324 MHz we can see here that the frequency 07: core 405 MHz shader 810 MHz 324 MHz memory are used instead of frequencies 03: core 135 MHz shader 270 MHz memory 135 MHz at each boot, I have to log in as root and modify it with the command: echo 03 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/pstate is it a bug or is it wanted by ubuntu? thank you kernel : 4.15.0-29-generic lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Release: 18.04 apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-nouveau xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Installé : 1:1.0.15-2 Candidat : 1:1.0.15-2 Table de version : *** 1:1.0.15-2 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1782975 Title: recloking with nouveau driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1782975/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
