Two more tables, one more laptop available

Two more users have provided their DSDT table information for their hybrid graphics configuration. We now have up to 6 different tables for different kinds of ATI/intel combinations, which should provide enough information to assert what is the common ground for ATI PowerXpress support in Linux.

If  you have a computer with a hybrid graphics card,  please submit your DSDT.dsl information as an attachment to this bug report:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/312756

To compile your DSDT information, install if you haven't already the acpidump and iasl tools:
sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl

Then run the following commands:

sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt
iasl -d DSDT.dat


This will create a DSDT.dsl file that you can attach to the bug report. This information will allow the developers to fully implement the hybrid graphics features for Linux.

New Powersaving features in open-source ATI drivers: DynamicPM and ForceLowPowerMode

[Phoronix] X.Org ATI Driver Supports New Power Options
X.Org ATI Driver Supports New Power Options

Besides seeing 3D acceleration for their hardware in an open-source driver, one of the other leading requests from ATI Radeon customers has been to see improved power management within the ATI X.Org driver stack. There is Dynamic Clocks support and some other power management capabilities, along with some more innovative ways, but ATI's PowerPlay is not fully implemented in the open-source stack. Today though committed to the xf86-video-ati driver is support for two new power management features. The two new power options in this open-source driver are ForceLowPowerMode and DynamicPM, both of which are xorg.conf options.

The ForceLowPowerMode will force the graphics processor to always run in a low-power mode, while DynamicPM will adjust the power management behavior based upon DPMS (the Display Power Management Settings). In the DynamicPM mode, the low-power option will only be used when the system is idling. Both options will reduce the performance potential of the ATI graphics processor, but will consume less power and generate less heat.

The ForceLowPowerMode and DynamicPM will clock down both the GPU core and memory speeds along with only using PCI Express x2 bandwidth (instead of PCI-E x16) when operating in the low-power mode. The core and memory clock adjusting is supported through AtomBIOS on the R500 series and later, but there is also hard-coded support for the R100 through R400 hardware.

Checkout the latest Git code of the xf86-video-ati driver to access these options. At this time, these options cannot be found in the xf86-video-radeonhd driver.

Samsung Q320 with GeForce G105M Linux DSDT tables needed

The Samsung Q320, shown here, and Samsung R522, shown after the cut, are aimed at “mobile enthusiasts” and “families” respectively, with the Q320 having a 13.4-inch zero-bezel display and the R522 a more traditional 15.6-inch panel.

samsung q320 1

Both models have 6-cell batteries, which promise up to 4.5hrs of runtime for the Q320 and up to 5hrs for the R522; there’s also a SuperSilent Mode which reduces fan-noise.  No details on specific Core 2 Duo processors, RAM or hard-drives, but we do know the Q320 uses NVIDIA’s GeForce G105M GPU.

MSI GT628 with GeForce 160M and Linux Hybrid Graphics DSDT information

MSI GT628 Gaming Laptop ImageWith the growing market for mobile gaming computers, there are many computer makers which have joined the bandwagon in an attempt to tap the lucrative market that consists of hard-core gamers and mobile users.

One of the most popular manufacturers of mobile gaming computers is MSI which has focused on creating portable gaming devices. Meanwhile, its most recent product is the GT628 that features multimedia functions and technologies that will meet the needs of hard-core gamers today.

This laptop features the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 160M with 1GB GDDR3 VRAM which is almost twice as faster compared to its predecessor GeForce 9700M GT. With this chip, the computer can provide reliable support for gaming technologies and other multimedia functions while offering impressive 3D graphics.

According to vice president of MSI sales Andy Tung, the company chose the chip for its new laptop since it can provide game-caliber performance that has never been attained by most notebook models.

To provide faster performance, the GeForce GTX 160M has also been integrated with the latest Intel Centrino 2 processor and MSI’s unique technology called Turbo Drive Engine which increases the clock rate (computer’s overall performance) by enhancing the speed of RAM, video, card, and chipsets.

Another notable feature is the 15.4-inch LCD widescreen display which can support images which come in 1680 x 1050 resolutions. Not only built for gamers, this screen displays vibrant images since it has PureVideo High Definition (HD) Technology that will allow users to watch HD and Blu-ray movies.

Other features are 7.1ch Dolby Certified Audio which can support impressive sound quality; built-in 2-pixel camera; 802.11n WiFi connection for fast Internet access; Bluetooth Technology for wireless digital transfer; 320GB 7200RPM Hard Drive; HDMI output; Eco Engine Technology and NVIDIA’s HybridPower technology that allows users to minimize the power consumption of the computer.

According to MSI, the GT628 will be made available in the US market in mid April. Meanwhile, the company did not disclose the price of this gaming mobile computer.
