[SOLVED] ATI dpm not working?

EDIT2: I found the issue. A stupid user mistake. One of my not-often-used entries in grub.cfg was missing radeon.dpm=1.

I've been setting `radeon.dpm=1` as a kernel parameter, and it's been working fine until recently.
But now it doesn't seem to work anymore. The card fans are running at full speed, and the temperature is ~66°C.

Looking in /sys/class/drm/card0/device, I see the following

power_method = profile
power_profile = default

EDIT: Ok, this is strange. After booting today, power_method is dpm, and everything is back to normal..

Setting power_profile to auto doesn't seem to work, but setting it to low reduces it's fanspeed. I guess I'll run into performance issues though.

Is the documentation at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … management out of date?

Re: [SOLVED] ATI dpm not working?

I have a similar problem. The power method shown is profile and the profile is default ( are these used? ) The temperature readings of the GPU are around 80C on idle. So dpm doenst seem to work. The card is a HD4890 so it should be supported.

Edit: Adding radeon.dpm=1 to kernel parameters seems to ameliorate the issue. But by my understanding dpm should be enabled by default. Has this been changed recently?

If I remember correctly, that was only for HD7xxx and newer GPUs: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.13#hea … f0e16898df

Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.
