However the rendering (?) is now super slow. http://pastebin.com/D5eUNUB6<br /><br />I note too that I have OpenGL 3.0 listed as well as 1.2 & 2.0. All of them have the same effect with slow compositing (rendering?). ie Wobbly Windows and other effects are no longer smooth like they used to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09190970582042239971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-6111183747956480602013-08-16T11:41:59.341-03:002013-08-16T11:41:59.341-03:00Thanks for the update Lamarque, works!Thanks for the update Lamarque, works!LeGoekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16265050069600421349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-65722754039400767862013-08-16T10:18:06.521-03:002013-08-16T10:18:06.521-03:00@ Stan aka Xeno:

I´ve found the same solution here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=109973<br /><br />but putting an executable "desktop_effects" file into ~/.kde/env/ doesn´t do it for me. After a restart it´s still the same. What part am I getting wrong? Thanks for the blogpost.

It's certainly worth a try, at least - although note that it does require new firmware and a custom kernel parameter to enable the new PM code (DPM=1?) so make sure you've got it enabled correctly if you try it out. Or else just wait a few more months and it should become a more out of the box experience.smitty3268https://www.blogger.com/profile/11878019832550092117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-12326041510848560782013-08-15T15:18:30.524-03:002013-08-15T15:18:30.524-03:00@Ivan Čukić, yeah, I read that too. Unfortunately ...@Ivan Čukić, yeah, I read that too. Unfortunately I do not think that will help me. Current radeon power handling requires some profiles that we can see when running dmesg command. My notebook's card shows just one profile (performance). For the dynamic clock implementation in the kernel to work the kernel should detect at least another profile with the correct clocks for the gpu's processor and memory. By what I have found notebook manufecturers sometimes implement those things differently from what the opensource driver expects and then issues like no powermanagement happens. It would be a big surprise to me if kernel 3.11 solves the issue with my notebook's gpu.Lamarquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689491144609928238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-44945784280113338172013-08-15T15:10:59.922-03:002013-08-15T15:10:59.922-03:00I read somewhere that 3.11 will have a much better...I read somewhere that 3.11 will have a much better power handling in the free driver.Ivan Čukićhttp://ivan.fomentgroup.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4950896403024987968.post-65330368844530863492013-08-15T14:33:31.954-03:002013-08-15T14:33:31.954-03:00Thanks !
