Bug ID: 94387
Summary: Approx 35W more power usage in multi-screen
Product: xorg
Version: 7.6 (2010.12)
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Driver/Radeon
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
QA Contact: [email protected]
When using multiscreen on the radeon driver, dpm is disabled. This means the
adapter draws approx 35W more power due to no dynamic power management.
While I would love to continue to use this card + radeon driver (which works
perfectly in all other regards), the extra heat generated make this not an
option.
Multi-monitor configs are becoming more and more common - but they are almost
unusable power / heat wise.
While this is probably a pipe-dream - what are the chances of getting some form
of power management that isn't just "severely cripple the card"?
