All works fine, but minor annoying problem. The dpm is choosing a power state that isn't the best... This is my card : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV = 630 XT AGP [Radeon HD 2600 XT AGP] Here is the dpm output: [ 12.358738] =3D=3D power state 0 =3D=3D [ 12.358796] ui class: none [ 12.358895] internal class: boot=20 [ 12.359069] caps: video=20 [ 12.359209] uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 [ 12.359266] power level 0 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.359326] power level 1 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.359386] power level 2 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.359445] status: c r b=20 [ 12.359671] =3D=3D power state 1 =3D=3D [ 12.359726] ui class: performance [ 12.359824] internal class: ovrdrv=20 [ 12.359965] caps: video=20 [ 12.360109] uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 [ 12.360166] power level 0 sclk: 15000 mclk: 42000 vddc: 1050 [ 12.360226] power level 1 sclk: 20000 mclk: 50000 vddc: 1080 [ 12.360285] power level 2 sclk: 40000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1100 [ 12.360344] status:=20 [ 12.360442] =3D=3D power state 2 =3D=3D [ 12.360497] ui class: none [ 12.360594] internal class: none [ 12.360734] caps: video=20 [ 12.360873] uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 [ 12.360930] power level 0 sclk: 20000 mclk: 50000 vddc: 1080 [ 12.360990] power level 1 sclk: 30000 mclk: 50000 vddc: 1100 [ 12.361056] power level 2 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.361115] status:=20 [ 12.361415] switching from power state: [ 12.361471] ui class: none [ 12.361568] internal class: boot=20 [ 12.361708] caps: video=20 [ 12.361847] uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 [ 12.361903] power level 0 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.361963] power level 1 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.362029] power level 2 sclk: 80000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1200 [ 12.362088] status: c b=20 [ 12.362303] switching to power state: [ 12.362359] ui class: performance [ 12.362457] internal class: ovrdrv=20 [ 12.362596] caps: video=20 [ 12.362735] uvd vclk: 0 dclk: 0 [ 12.362792] power level 0 sclk: 15000 mclk: 42000 vddc: 1050 [ 12.362853] power level 1 sclk: 20000 mclk: 50000 vddc: 1080 [ 12.362913] power level 2 sclk: 40000 mclk: 70000 vddc: 1100 [ 12.362972] status: r=20 As you can see, the driver choose the performance profile, but that one is limited to 400MHz, half of what this card can do. Of course i want to be able jump the GPU to 800MHz. So is there any easy way to choose the power state 2 instead of power state 1? Also, when in using tvtime on a second head, the dpm jumps the gpu clock to the max, yet i would like to use the middle speed. tvtime doesn't require that much resources (even low can do it!). Yet i found no way to force the middle power level. i can "echo high" and "echo low" to power_dpm_force_performance_level but trying "mid", "middle" fail.=20 Is there any support to use the middle power level? Thanks in advance. higuita --=20 Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a=20 simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are=20 being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946 --Sig_/SOmJ/sOtepTolyUzL1Br5t_ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.15 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlJjJYMACgkQrv1jazsMcrO1ggCff12CNcY56INpAUUvEpnzH87H ARUAoMLzB5Xo9kIQdXGSdZF7AgIxPoYI =RNNs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/SOmJ/sOtepTolyUzL1Br5t_-- --===============1025289645== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel --===============1025289645==--
