Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
By using powertop and reading the radeon/feature page on x.org I managed to reduce the power consumption when on batery by about 4W on my laptop (from about 22W to 18W). I just followed the recommendations on: http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature and did: $ sudo -c sh 'echo "auto" > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile' This solution, if it doesn't trigger problems for anyone, should be made either the default or easily configurable through some file in /etc. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771963 Title: graphics card uses more power than needed when on batery -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
