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

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? Thanks again, Tom Corner On 19-Nov-2003 Alex Deucher

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

I signed onto the developer list too now. When the computer comes, I am thinking of trying driver snapshots or CVS versions. I have heard that ATI does not support their own driver very well. Thanks again, Tom On 20-Nov-2003 Alex Deucher wrote: The drivers do not currently have support for agp

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. Just a heads up. Alex --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I'm not sure. You might check on the linux-kernel mailing list. or search on google. I don't have an 8x motherboard so I've never looked for it. Alex --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Where do I find the kernel patch for agp x8? I saw in a posting elsewhere that kernel 2.4.22 may support agp

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 If you are running 4.3.0, they should still work, but you will need to get a newer version of the XFree86 binary.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