           Summary: Power management not working on ATI M92 LP [Mobility
                    Radeon HD 4300]
           Product: DRI
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: DRM/Radeon
        AssignedTo: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: s.j.turner@uqconnect.net


A launchpad user reports "If I deactivate the ATI restricted driver, and then
restart my computer, GPU temp is between 70-80 degrees Celsius instead of the
usual 40-50, without doing anything, no application running, no effects."

lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility
Radeon HD 4300 Series] [1002:9552]

MachineType: Hewlett-Packard HP ProBook 4710s

This was originally reported on Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" with a 2.6.31-based
kernel (which of course does not have power management support), but persists
on an Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" pre-release with a 2.6.38-based kernel.

The problem is that this user reports "I've tried setting the power
(management) profile settings and dynpm, but nothing has changed, still running
above 70 degrees Celsius."

FWIW, I'm using this card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV630 [Radeon HD 2600
Series]
Under Debian's 2.6.38-2-amd64, and the temperature is currently 74°C according
to the "sensors" command, and the card is nearly too hot to touch. I've never
tried the proprietary driver.

Xavier - do the dynamic or profile-based power management settings work for
you?  This bug is about those settings not working.

If I understand things correctly, a hot GPU is to be expected when using the
open-source driver without these settings.

Please see the power management section on this page to configure a lower power
state:

Alex,

I read that page (didn't know it had something more useful than the progress
table, thanks), and did a subsequent:
echo low >/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

Now it looks like my pc has deadlocked. I didn't get a prompt after that
command, and all network connexions are stuck. I'll reboot it when I'm back
home (the pc is at home, I'm at work), but in the meantime it means no more
mails for me (it's also my mail server). I'll try to follow the bugzilla in the
remaining time.

$ lspci | grep ATI

4500 Series]

This is an HP 4720s notebook. I have tried both "dynpm" and "low" settings, and
while it does not lock up, it still runs hot - 60+ degrees, fan constantly on
high.

Mine is a HP 4710s, with the same video card as Alexey's.

Soory, forgot to mention that I am the reporter of the launchpad bug, and I
experience the computer running hot too.

I have the same card on DELL Studio 15". I wouldn't say that power management
does not work. I'm using "profile" method with "low" setting. After about ~20
mins of uptime this is the "sensors" output:

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:       +57.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)                  
temp2:       +58.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)                  
temp3:       +65.0°C  (crit = +100.0°C)                  

coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0:      +53.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)  

coretemp-isa-0001
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 1:      +55.0°C  (high = +90.0°C, crit = +90.0°C)  

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:       +69.0°C      

# cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 500000 kHz
current engine clock: 219370 kHz
default memory clock: 800000 kHz
current memory clock: 299250 kHz
voltage: 900 mV
PCIE lanes: 16


With "mid" setting temp goes beyond 70° C, and sometimes I experience GPU
lockup when playing with heavy graphics (e.g. Flightgear simulator):

[ 4357.360138] radeon 0000:01:00.0: GPU lockup CP stall for more than 10000msec
[ 4357.360189] GPU lockup (waiting for 0x0007476B last fence id 0x0007476A)

Radeon pm feature are just not enough aggressive. With fglrx driver
radeon-pci-0100 temp stays well below 60° C and fan doesn't run all the time.

Unfortunately Radeon driver isn't really usable for me on my laptop, but thank
you for improving it. Fglrx driver isn't really an alternative for me.

I have same problem with my Acer 4810TG notebook. The average temperature - is
70 degrees C. With proprietary driver - the temperature is 35-40 degrees C.

#lspci -nn| grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility
Radeon HD 4300 Series] [1002:9552]

#uname -a
Linux 3.3.4-4.fc17.x86_64

#cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
default engine clock: 450000 kHz
current engine clock: 299530 kHz
default memory clock: 600000 kHz
current memory clock: 299250 kHz
voltage: 900 mV
PCIE lanes: 16


I'd tried to use dynpm and profile (low) options, but it doesn't help me.

I am willing to help with testing of the solution. A lot of people complain
about the heat when using the open driver that causes them to use the
proprietary driver.
