[SOLVED] acpi_call not really turn off amd gpu

Hi,there.I recently encountered an AMD gpu issue on my arch system(Dell 14R N4110).
      Before posting, I have tried instructions in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127210, and the result seems quite normal.
      And I switched to my Ubuntu13.04 system on the same matchine sine I have dual boot. It's clear that gpu do turned off on all aspects..discharge rate 10w,cpu temperature is quite normal and the powertop ubutnu after acpi_call executed
In contrast, powertop's output arch after acpi_call executed and the hot cpu..on archlinux  tells me that amd gpu was not turned off.
     Here is some output of my current archlinux system(Linux arch 3.12.7-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jan 10 08:50:35 CET 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux):

  1. output of acpi_call on archlinux when successfully excuted

Also I have tried to remove some parameters from kernel line, and changed /etc/default/grub  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT value to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="verbose modprobe.blacklist=radeon", nothing happened..
Seems odd ,huh?  mad 
Please, help me out.
Any suggetion is appreciate,thanks!
& Sorry about my poor english here.

Re: [SOLVED] acpi_call not really turn off amd gpu

ok, some tips here. Downgrading kernel to 3.12.1  helps. It's related to acpi_call issues from github . Not resolved  since 3.12 kernel releases due to no updating ...
acpi_call issues since kernel 3.12]
