Better power management for AMD/ATI Radeon R600 and newer hardware is finally available in the upstream 3.11 linux kernel.
For people using Ubuntu, the first release candidate (3.11-rc1) of the 3.11 kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install and uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds Fedora users can get the 3.11-rc1 kernel from Rawhide at http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/development/ For more information about using Rawhide, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide?rd=Rawhide Users of other Linux distributions will need to obtain the 3.11 kernel by other means. For now, to use this power management for the AMD/ATI Radeon you will need to select it at boot by adding radeon.dpm=1 to your GRUB kernel boot options as described at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/748080 Title: ATI card fan is always on with opensource radeon driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/748080/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
