Subject: Power profiles low and mid are identical on Radeon HD6470M
Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2011 20:25:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E909587.7050809@gmx.net> (raw)

Hello,

I have an HP Elitebook 8560p with Radeon HD7470M graphics, running 
Debian sid with kernel 3.0.4.

I noticed that the power profiles low and mid are setting identical 
clocks and voltage, the lowest possible values:

default engine clock: 750000 kHz
current engine clock: 99990 kHz
default memory clock: 900000 kHz
current memory clock: 149970 kHz
voltage: 900 mV

Looking at the code, this seems to be intentional at least for the 
mobility chips, but the chip provides more modes:

[    9.361401] [drm] R600: Number of power states = 7
[    9.361402] [drm] Is mobility = YES

[    9.361440] [drm] NOT CHIP_R600

(dmesg output from patched radeon module)

Questions:
1. Is this a bug or a feature? (I see that it is not obvious which power 
state to choose)
2. What do the 3 clock/voltage modes per power state mean?

Regards,
Wolfgang
