Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v: flicker in 1920x1080

[Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>]

Hi!

4.3-rc7 kernel, graphics works reasonably well in 1600x1200 mode. But
my monitor is native 1920x1080, so that mode looks pretty ugly on
screen. If I go to 1920x1080, I see colored horizontal lines (often
black) as soon as there's graphics activity.

pavel@half:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y
axis) 478mm x 268mm

 pavel@half:~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200
 pavel@half:~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1920x1080
 pavel@half:~$ xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1600x1200
			   

This is Acer notebook,

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices,
Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV710/M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4530/4570/545v]

Ouch, and power consumption seems to be 8W too high. (25W instead of
17W), I believe it started when I added radeon firmware, but will
check. It does not go lower even when I switch to text console.

Any ideas?
