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.

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.

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,

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.

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,

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.

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.

Can I just substitute the object modules or do I need to compile from source
all of xfree86?

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4.3.0, they should still work, but you will need to get a newer version
of the XFree86 binary.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:
Another question. Can you specify agp 8x for the radeon 9200
