Public bug reported:
SRU Request:
[Impact]
Support for the amdgpu-pro driver has been available in Artful since May 2017.
We need to backport the code to the other stable releases.
[Test Case]
1) Enable the -proposed repository, and install the new "ubuntu-drivers-common"
2) Make sure the amdgpu-pro packages are installed (if not, install
them, and restart your system).
3) Check that power saving mode is supported:
amdgpu-pro-px --ispx
If it returns true, then it is supported by the hardware.
4) Set power saving mode:
sudo amdgpu-pro-px --mode powersaving
5) Restart your computer and check that the "Enabling power saving mode
for amdgpu-pro" line is in your /var/log/gpu-manager.log.
6) Install the mesa-utils package:
sudo apt install mesa-utils
7) Check the output of the following command (which should mention Intel):
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
[Regression Potential]
Low, as the feature is disabled by default, unless users set power saving
manually.
