=== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ===
This is the Linux driver for monitoring the accelerometer known as [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

The driver only enables reading of the acceleration data. It does '''not''' perform [[#Harddisk Protection|automatic disk head parking]]. But there are already some other useful [[#Applications|applications]] for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides.

{{WARN|There are two versions of the hdaps driver, one in the Linux kernel mainline, and another provided by [[tp_smapi]]. '''Use of the tp_smapi version of hdaps is strongly recommended by the current hdaps developers.'''}}
|}

=== Features ===
*provides accelerometer values via sysfs
*provides a joystick type input device

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).
*The [[tp_smapi]] package contains some patches to this driver. These are necessary for some recent models, and recommended for all.

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained, but it is very inferior to the driver in tp_smapi (which provides its own hdaps module).

=== How to install the driver ===
Recent Linux kernels include the <tt>hdaps</tt> driver. However, the driver in the mainline Linux kernel has two problems with recent models:
* It doesn't whitelist them (you have to edit hdaps_init() in drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c to include a line like <tt>HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_LENOVO("ThinkPad T60")</tt>)
* It doesn't work reliably, e.g., it may read out constant values (0,0). See [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=15350314 here].

To solve both problems, install the modified hdaps that is bundled with [[tp_smapi]].

=== Harddisk Protection ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

=== Input device support ===
In more recent versions of the Linux kernel,bVy6hxT the hdaps exports event devices with the accelerometer data. These devices can be used as-is by some programs (e.g. hdapsd), but for most they must be handled by the additional kernel module <code>joydev</code>.

When both modules are loaded, joydev will provide standard joystick device emulation for hdaps (standard hdaps exports just one joystick device. enhanced hdaps from tp_smapi will export two due to issues still unsolved on joydev, but the second one must not be used as a joystick).

{{WARN|Letting a program bind to these joystick devices can cause surprising results if you are not aware of it. e.g.: mplayer can act quite strangely. Also, letting a program bind to the second joystick device from enhanced HDAPS is guaranteed to be trouble}}

Udev can be used to create device nodes in /dev for use by user space programs that access the joystick, and to set appropriate permissions.

In order for non-root users to access these device files, their permissions must be tweaked a little through an appropriate udev rule and corresponding "joy" group.

{{cmdroot|addgroup joy}}<br>
{{cmdroot|adduser <you> joy}}<br>
<code># echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="js*", MODE="0660", GROUP="joy"' >> /etc/udev/hdaps-joy.rules</code><br>
{{cmdroot|ln -s ../hdaps-joy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdaps-joy.rules}}<br>

Programs you can use to test and calibrate the device files include <code>jscalibrator</code> (gui) and <code>jstest</code>/<code>jscal</code> (cli) packaged together (at least in Debian) simply as "joystick".

=== Applications ===
====Disk head parking====
You will need the kernel patch below and the hdapsd userspace daemon. The GUI monitoring is optional.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]] for more information.

===== Kernel patch =====
Due to significant changes in the way the libata module which handles disk i/o, applying any of the currently available patches to kernel 2.6.24 will intermittently cause system hangs when the queue is frozen (i.e., the heads are parked). It is recommended either that you stay at kernel [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.17.tar.bz2 2.6.23] or do without disk protection in 2.6.24 until the kinks have been worked out. There has been significant work on the part of [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/25/478 Elias Oltmanns], author of the more recent patches, to get this worked out and eventually get shock protection built into the mainline kernel.

Below are some links to patches for various Linux kernel versions. As noted above, your mileage may vary with the 2.6.24-rc3 patch as it was after this release candidate that things stopped working nicely.
{{HINT|To apply a patch, change to the root directory of the kernel tree and run<br><code>patch -p1 -l < hdaps_xx.patch</code>}}

===== Userspace daemon =====
*Current version: [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=138242&package_id=308030 hdapsd-20090401]<br>
This version optionally reduces timer interrupts (as measured by [[PowerTOP]]), and thereby reduces power consumption on modern ("tickless") Linux kernels. Interrupt reduction requires the <tt>hdaps</tt> kernel module from [[tp_smapi]] 0.32 or newer, and a udev rule. If these are not present, it will default to an older polling method that is slightly more power-hungry. The udev rule helps hdapsd find the input device, and on most distributions it can be created as follows:
# echo 'KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event"' \
> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules
Then reboot or run {{cmdroot|/sbin/udevtrigger}}, and verify that the {{path|/dev/input/hdaps/accelerometer-event}} symlink exists.

*[ftp://rohrmoser-engineering.de/HDAPS_Userspace_Daemon/ Modified adaptive algorithm version] - uses a different (and potentially better) algorithm for the adaptive sensivity threshold.
{{HINT| Gentoo users : due to new interface your initscript won't be longer working. Read documentation before upgrading to this version.
Use an overlay listed bellow with updated versions of related packages}}

{{NOTE| Linux 2.6.33.2: with the hdaps driver from tp_smapi-0.40, hdapsd don't need udev help any more. hdapsd will loop all the event devices at /dev/input/event* to find out
the accelerometer event. Kernel has to enable the input event interface (Device Drivers->input Device support ->Event interface), otherwise the /dev/input/event* will not be populated.}}

Problem with video output switching

2009-10-31T03:05:19Z

Blshkv: /* Related Links */

==Affected Models==
*ThinkPad {{T40}}, {{T40p}}, {{T41}}, {{T41p}}, {{T42}}, {{T42p}}, {{T43}}, {{T43p}}, {{T60}}, {{T61}}
*ThinkPad {{R61}}
*ThinkPad {{X22}}, {{X23}}, {{X31}}, {{X41}}, {{X60}}, {{X60s}}

==Problem Description==
External video output is not working, or it is not possible, using the {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} key, to switch between the LCD and the external monitor in the following way:
LCD --> external Monitor--> both -->LCD
However ''cloning'' is possible for the Intel chipsets, see below.

=== At least as of Fedora 8 with intel chipset the following works: [[Sample Fn-F7 script]] ===

===Problems with Intel chipsets===
Disabling the internal LCD (e.g. when using an external Monitor) doesn't seem to work reliably.

* For Xorg 7.022 one can clone the LCD display to an external monitor, adding the following lines to the Device section in the xorg.conf file:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "i810"
Option "Clone" "true"
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
however you can not switch between these screens as described above, once you use {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} the cloned display is lost.

* i810switch doesn't have any effect. After disabling the LCD it is still on (but the status display of i810switch claims that is is switched off).

* The following works with Fedora Core 6 on an {{X60s}} and CentOS 5 on {{X60}}: i810switch 0.6.5 with the patch found on http://thpinfo.com/2006/patches/i810switch_macbook_support.patch can switch between LCD and CRT (and initially CRT is off) (NOTE: The first hunk of this patch does not apply to the source, just remove it, it is unnecessary). This patch makes i810switch recognize the i915 chipset. It should thus be doable to use this with an ACPI event/action to do {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} switching. After installing i810switch and its i810rotate script and the missing [[ibm-acpi]] kernel module I did the following to achieve just that:

In /etc/rc.local:
modprobe ibm_acpi
echo enable,0x084c > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

in /etc/acpi/events/videoswitch.conf:
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007
action=/etc/acpi/actions/video-rotate.sh

Make sure the event code is correct. If acpid doesn't seem to recognise the event, try to recopy it from acpi log.

in /etc/acpi/actions/video-rotate.sh
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/sbin/i810rotate

* i855crt works see: http://stefan.desire.ch/howto/x41debian/#graphics for details.

* With [[ibm-acpi]], {{cmdroot|echo lcd_disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/video}} works, but {{cmdroot|echo lcd_enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/video}} doesn't work - so one can't enable it anymore after disabling it. (the strange thing is that when switching to a console with {{key|Ctrl}}{{key|Alt}}{{key|F1}} the LCD display is used for it, so there must be some way to enable it but I can't find out how to control this in X). I've tried this with version 0.8 and version 0.11 of [[ibm-acpi]].
** {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} lets me enable the internal LCD after I disabled it with {{cmdroot|echo lcd_disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/video}} on my X41 but it corrupts the crt out

===Problems with ATI chipsets===
*It is a [http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2000 known issue] of xorgs radeon driver that {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} doesn't work.

The {{cmdroot|radeontool light off}} and {{cmdroot|radeontool dac off}} commands will disable the LCD and CRT if they're been enabled before in the X server, but the corresponding {{cmdroot|radeontool light on}} and {{cmdroot|radeontool dac on}} will not work if the displays have were not enabled when the X server started. Also note that turing off the CRT using this command will not reduce power consumption, nor allow [[fglrx]] to enable power saving modes.

You might try the following:
# Hit {{key|Ctrl}}{{key|Alt}}{{key|F1}} to switch to a console
# Hit {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} to switch video
# Hit {{key|Alt}}{{key|F7}} to switch back to X.

* Similar problems exist with XFree86 4.3 and its radeon driver

You '''can''' switch the display off after switching to tty1 ({{key|Ctrl}}{{key|Alt}}{{key|F1}}) by
* pressing FN+F7 or
* executing ''echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video'' as root

You '''cannot''' do this under X11. The display is always on under X11. I tried
* ''echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video''
* ''echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video''
* ''echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video''
* pressing FN+F7

but none of the above had any effect. If you switch the display off, then start X or switch to it, the display
will be activated automatically.

====With the radeon driver====
You can force the <tt>radeon</tt> driver to enable both CRT and LCD using <tt>Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,CRT"</tt> in the <tt>"Device"</tt> section of {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}.

With new versions of the [[radeon]] drivers that include [[Xorg RandR 1.2]] support, you can fully control all outputs using the <tt>xrandr</tt> utility.

====With the fglrx driver====
Output switching with the Closed-Source ati-driver works: Just use {{cmdroot|aticonfig --query-monitor}} and e.g. {{cmdroot |aticonfig --enable-monitor..."}}. You can use those two commands in a script, and bind them to {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}}. Or use <tt>Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"</tt> in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}.

----

Alternative solution: {{path|fglrx}} 8.28.8 will recognize {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}} directly, if the key is enabled. This obviates the need for scripts which call aticonfig. To enable the hotkey, issue the command {{cmdroot|echo enable,0xffff >/proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey}}. You'll want to have this run both at boot time, and after resume (on my T43, the hotkey mask is reset on resume). For Ubuntu, I've put a script with the command in both the {{path|/etc/acpi/resume.d}}, and {{path|/etc/acpi/start.d}} directories.

'''NOTE:''' This command will not enable video output swtiching on a T60p running Ubuntu 7.10. Executing this command will cause problem with the volume control keys and a few of the function keys (Ex. FN-F5 will no longer toggle Bluetooth).
----

Using kubuntu 7.04 with xorg-driver-fglrx 7.1.0-8.34.8+2.6.20.5-16.29, fglrx failed to recognise {{key|Fn}}{{key|F7}}. However the following scripts can be used with acpi. Tested on a T42p.

* /etc/acpi/events/ibmvideobtn
# /etc/acpi/events/ibmvideobtn
# This is called when the user presses the video button.
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001007
action=/etc/acpi/ibm-video.sh

* /etc/acpi/ibm-video.sh
#!/bin/sh

# ACPI Scripts run as root, but the display will not allow access
# from other users.
# Lookup the X process for :0, find the -auth command line option,
# extract the name of the authority file and use this file
# to gain access to the DISPLAY
export XAUTHORITY=`ps -ef | grep /usr/bin/X | grep :0 | grep -v grep | \
awk -F' -' '{for (i=1; i<=NF; i++) if (substr($i, 0, 4)=="auth") print $i}' \

#

# Cycle round to next monitor setup.
# We loop through these settings
# 1. CRT
# 2. LCD
# 3. CRT and LCD
echo Current video: $current

case $current in

aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds
;;
lvds)
echo Switching to both LCD and CRT
aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1,lvds
;;
"crt1, lvds")
echo Switching to CRT
aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1
;;
*)
# Unexpected current monitor, change to internal LCD
echo Unknown current mode, switching to LCD
aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds
esac

====With the VESA driver====

I have fixed the problem on my T42 by switching to the generic VESA driver in xorg.conf, and rebooting, as mentioned on the xorg bug page above. None of the other solutions worked.

===Problems with NVidia chipsets===

T61 with NVidia Quadro 140 NVS chipset also doesn't switch video output on Fn+F7 key
(tested 2008-05-28 with Ubuntu 8.04 amd64 and nvidia proprietory driver).

If the nvidia proprietory driver is used: it includes a tool "nvidia-settings". With this
tool you can enable the other output (select "configure" and "Twinhead" and then disable
the first output to switch displays). Pressing "Apply" is enough, no need to save the config -
which is best left with the save default (LVDS enabled).

A simple command line tool to switch displays is here:
*[[Tool for nvidia video output switching]]

==Solutions==

====BIOSHotKeys====

Try adding
Option "BiosHotKeys" "on"
to "Device" selection in /etc/xorg.conf. For some reason, this is not the default, and will cause xorg to ignore the BIOS's request to switch modes!
This fixes the problem for an X22, with xorg 6.9.0.

It fixed this problem for a X31 with xorg 7.1.1 too, but as the CRT is the primary display in some Thinkpads (like in the X31), you can not switch back to the LCD (or both) if xorg has started with the CRT only or both mode, because it sets the resolution and or refresrate to high for the LCD.

=== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ===
This is the Linux driver for monitoring the accelerometer known as [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

The driver only enables reading of the acceleration data. It does '''not''' perform [[#Harddisk Protection|automatic disk head parking]]. But there are already some other useful [[#Applications|applications]] for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides.

{{WARN|There are two versions of the hdaps driver, one in the Linux kernel mainline, and another provided by [[tp_smapi]]. '''Use of the tp_smapi version of hdaps is strongly recommended by the current hdaps developers.'''}}
|}

=== Features ===
*provides accelerometer values via sysfs
*provides a joystick type input device

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).
*The [[tp_smapi]] package contains some patches to this driver. These are necessary for some recent models, and recommended for all.

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained, but it is very inferior to the driver in tp_smapi (which provides its own hdaps module).

=== How to install the driver ===
Recent Linux kernels include the <tt>hdaps</tt> driver. However, the driver in the mainline Linux kernel has two problems with recent models:
* It doesn't whitelist them (you have to edit hdaps_init() in drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c to include a line like <tt>HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_LENOVO("ThinkPad T60")</tt>)
* It doesn't work reliably, e.g., it may read out constant values (0,0). See [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=15350314 here].

To solve both problems, install the modified hdaps that is bundled with [[tp_smapi]].

=== Harddisk Protection ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

=== Input device support ===
In more recent versions of the Linux kernel, the hdaps exports event devices with the accelerometer data. These devices can be used as-is by some programs (e.g. hdapsd), but for most they must be handled by the additional kernel module <code>joydev</code>.

When both modules are loaded, joydev will provide standard joystick device emulation for hdaps (standard hdaps exports just one joystick device. enhanced hdaps from tp_smapi will export two due to issues still unsolved on joydev, but the second one must not be used as a joystick).

{{WARN|Letting a program bind to these joystick devices can cause surprising results if you are not aware of it. e.g.: mplayer can act quite strangely. Also, letting a program bind to the second joystick device from enhanced HDAPS is guaranteed to be trouble}}

Udev can be used to create device nodes in /dev for use by user space programs that access the joystick, and to set appropriate permissions.

In order for non-root users to access these device files, their permissions must be tweaked a little through an appropriate udev rule and corresponding "joy" group.

{{cmdroot|addgroup joy}}<br>
{{cmdroot|adduser <you> joy}}<br>
<code># echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="js*", MODE="0660", GROUP="joy"' >> /etc/udev/hdaps-joy.rules</code><br>
{{cmdroot|ln -s ../hdaps-joy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdaps-joy.rules}}<br>

Programs you can use to test and calibrate the device files include <code>jscalibrator</code> (gui) and <code>jstest</code>/<code>jscal</code> (cli) packaged together (at least in Debian) simply as "joystick".

=== Applications ===
====Disk head parking====
You will need the kernel patch below and the hdapsd userspace daemon. The GUI monitoring is optional.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]] for more information.

===== Kernel patch =====
Due to significant changes in the way the libata module which handles disk i/o, applying any of the currently available patches to kernel 2.6.24 will intermittently cause system hangs when the queue is frozen (i.e., the heads are parked). It is recommended either that you stay at kernel [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.17.tar.bz2 2.6.23] or do without disk protection in 2.6.24 until the kinks have been worked out. There has been significant work on the part of [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/25/478 Elias Oltmanns], author of the more recent patches, to get this worked out and eventually get shock protection built into the mainline kernel.

Below are some links to patches for various Linux kernel versions. As noted above, your mileage may vary with the 2.6.24-rc3 patch as it was after this release candidate that things stopped working nicely.

===== Userspace daemon =====
*[http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.hdaps.devel/1372 Current version]<br>
This version optionally reduces timer interrupts (as measured by [[PowerTOP]]), and thereby reduces power consumption on modern ("tickless") Linux kernels. Interrupt reduction requires the <tt>hdaps</tt> kernel module from [[tp_smapi]] 0.32 or newer, and a udev rule. If these are not present, it will default to an older polling method that is slightly more power-hungry. The udev rule helps hdapsd find the input device, and on most distributions it can be created as follows:
# echo 'KERNEL=="event[0-9]*", ATTRS{phys}=="hdaps/input1",ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0019v1014p5054e4801-*",SYMLINK+="input/hdaps/accelerometer-event"' \
> /etc/udev/rules.d/51-hdaps.rules
Then reboot or run {{cmdroot|/sbin/udevtrigger}}, and verify that the {{path|/dev/input/hdaps/accelerometer-event}} symlink exists.

=== HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ===
This is the Linux driver for monitoring the accelerometer known as [[Active Protection System|IBM Active Protection System]].

The driver only enables reading of the acceleration data. It does '''not''' perform [[#Harddisk Protection|automatic disk head parking]]. But there are already some other useful [[#Applications|applications]] for HDAPS, using the {{path|/sys}} interface it provides.

{{WARN|There are two versions of the hdaps driver, one in the Linux kernel mainline, and another provided by [[tp_smapi]]. '''Use of the tp_smapi version of hdaps is strongly recommended by the current hdaps developers.'''}}
|}

=== Features ===
*provides accelerometer values via sysfs
*provides a joystick type input device

=== Project Homepage / Availability ===
*[http://hdaps.sourceforge.net/ Project Homepage]
*The driver is included in the 2.6-mm series of kernels since August, 26th 2005.
*The driver is now in the mainline (2.6.14).
*The [[tp_smapi]] package contains some patches to this driver. These are necessary for some recent models, and recommended for all.

=== Status ===
A driver is included in recent Linux kernels and is actively maintained, but it is very inferior to the driver in tp_smapi (which provides its own hdaps module).

=== How to install the driver ===
Recent Linux kernels include the <tt>hdaps</tt> driver. However, the driver in the mainline Linux kernel has two problems with recent models:
* It doesn't whitelist them (you have to edit hdaps_init() in drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c to include a line like <tt>HDAPS_DMI_MATCH_LENOVO("ThinkPad T60")</tt>)
* It doesn't work reliably, e.g., it may read out constant values (0,0). See [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=15350314 here].

To solve both problems, install the modified hdaps that is bundled with [[tp_smapi]].

=== Harddisk Protection ===
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface. In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]].

=== Input device support ===
In more recent versions of the Linux kernel, the hdaps exports event devices with the accelerometer data. These devices can be used as-is by some programs (e.g. hdapsd), but for most they must be handled by the additional kernel module <code>joydev</code>.

When both modules are loaded, joydev will provide standard joystick device emulation for hdaps (standard hdaps exports just one joystick device. enhanced hdaps from tp_smapi will export two due to issues still unsolved on joydev, but the second one must not be used as a joystick).

{{WARN|Letting a program bind to these joystick devices can cause surprising results if you are not aware of it. e.g.: mplayer can act quite strangely. Also, letting a program bind to the second joystick device from enhanced HDAPS is guaranteed to be trouble}}

Udev can be used to create device nodes in /dev for use by user space programs that access the joystick, and to set appropriate permissions.

In order for non-root users to access these device files, their permissions must be tweaked a little through an appropriate udev rule and corresponding "joy" group.

{{cmdroot|addgroup joy}}<br>
{{cmdroot|adduser <you> joy}}<br>
<code># echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", KERNEL=="js*", MODE="0660", GROUP="joy"' >> /etc/udev/hdaps-joy.rules</code><br>
{{cmdroot|ln -s ../hdaps-joy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_hdaps-joy.rules}}<br>

Programs you can use to test and calibrate the device files include <code>jscalibrator</code> (gui) and <code>jstest</code>/<code>jscal</code> (cli) packaged together (at least in Debian) simply as "joystick".

=== Applications ===
====Disk head parking====
You will need the kernel patch below and the hdapsd userspace daemon. The GUI monitoring is optional.

See [[How to protect the harddisk through APS]] for more information.

===== Kernel patch =====
Due to significant changes in the way the libata module which handles disk i/o, applying any of the currently available patches to kernel 2.6.24 will intermittently cause system hangs when the queue is frozen (i.e., the heads are parked). It is recommended either that you stay at kernel [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.17.tar.bz2 2.6.23] or do without disk protection in 2.6.24 until the kinks have been worked out. There has been significant work on the part of [http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/25/478 Elias Oltmanns], author of the more recent patches, to get this worked out and eventually get shock protection built into the mainline kernel.

Below are some links to patches for various Linux kernel versions. As noted above, your mileage may vary with the 2.6.24-rc3 patch as it was after this release candidate that things stopped working nicely.

How to reduce power consumption

2008-04-15T23:44:33Z

Blshkv: /* General settings */

Reducing system power consumption will extend battery life, reduce system
temperature and (on some models) reduce system fan noise.
Power consumption can be greatly improved from a stock distribution configuration
to a fine tuned system. The general rules are :
* Unload drivers for unused devices (ie. USB 1.1, Yenta/PCMCIA, Wireless, IRDA, Bluetooth, ...)
* Reduce polling on devices (drives, USB subsystem, nvram, use SATA AN, ...)
* Reduce hard drive activity
* Reduce LCD brightness to the minimum you can stand
* Reduce CPU wakeups, so it can stay longer in deep power saving c-states
* Make use of every hardware devices availables power saving features (AHCI ALPM, USB autosuspend, Alsa and Wireless powersaving modes, HPET timers, ...)

==Tools==
Arjan van de Ven's [[PowerTOP]] utility
is a gold mine to improve energy efficiency, but is almost only CPU-oriented. This tool helps to easily detect
the top power offenders, both userland and kernel modules, which prevent the use of CPU power saving mechanisms and sometime suggest
fixes accordingly.
PowerTOP users collected some [http://www.linuxpowertop.org/known.php tips & tricks]
and an informative [http://www.linuxpowertop.org/faq.php faq].

Alternatively (or complementary) to PowerTOP, running <code>strace -p $(pidof yourapp)</code>
for all your favorite or background running applications while they are expected to be
idle, will show the misbehaviors.

Beside CPU wakeups, disks spins are also power hungry. To detect what make your disk spinning,

<code>
sysctl vm.block_dump=1
</code>

will list all applications causing disks wakeups on the kernel's dmesg.
Other useful tools for this purpose are blktrace, iostat and lm-profiler
(from laptop-mode-tools suite).

See also [[#Misbehaving Userland]].

==BIOS settings==
Some Thinkpad BIOS (like 2.08 BIOS on {{X40}}) offer two very lame options,
with a very misleading online help (saying "Usually not needed"). That's

<code>
CPU power management: (default disabled)
PCI bus power management: (default disabled)
</code>

You should indeed ''enable'' them, else the deepest C3 and C4 ACPI C-states
are disabled.

==CPU==
Look at:
* [[How to make use of Dynamic Frequency Scaling]]
* [[Pentium M undervolting and underclocking]]

A good thing to keep in mind is that every CPU wakeup, even if it's for
a trivial light job, reduce the time the CPU stays on a deep power
saving C-state (like C3 or C4). Therefore you should ensure your applications
stay really idle when they meant to be idle (track shorts select timeouts
in loop, etc. with [[PowerTOP]]).

Also note that manually locking the CPU in the lowest P-state (frequency)
available is '''not''' an efficient way to improve battery lifetime. This will
cause the CPU to stay longer in C0 (power hungry C-state) doing hard work when
there is something to do, while it could have done this work faster by augmenting
the CPU freq, and returned back faster to a deeper, economic, C-state and to a
lower frequency (P-state).
The best is to let the kernel select the appropriates CPU frequencies by itself
with the help of in kernel CPU governors.
Have a look at [http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-May/000166.html this explanation]
from Intel's kernel developer Arjan van de Ven.

==Kernel settings and patches==

===General settings===
The 2.6.21 kernel brought some very effective changes (like [[dynticks]]).
Later, 2.6.24-rc2 brought a lot of other power efficiency improvements.
If it's not already on your distribution and you value power efficiency,
you may think about compiling a recent kernel yourself.

Here are a few options (beside the ACPI and APM related one) that matter to
reduce power consumption or to help diagnosing consumers:

<code>
# From PowerTOP's FAQ:
CONFIG_NO_HZ
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS
CONFIG_HPET
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND
CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=3
CONFIG_TIMER_STATS
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_STAT
CONFIG_INOTIFY

# Not from the PowerTOP FAQ:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO depreciated as of kernel 2.6.24, use CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_ICH
CONFIG_X86_SPEEDSTEP_SMI
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_MENU
</code>

Those options are already in Fedora Core 7 and Ubuntu Gutsy (not Feisty) default i686 kernels.
PowerTOP FAQ also suggest to '''disable'''
CONFIG_IRQBALANCE and CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.

Also, you need to properly set APM and ACPI. Look at:
* [[Power Management]]
* [[How to make use of Power Management features]]

=== Kernel boot and module loading options ===
If you have an Intel chipset > ICH3 (cf. lspci output), as in most modern Thinpads, you should
be using the integrated HPET timer (saves about 30 CPU wake ups per second). To see if
hpet is enabled on your laptop :

<code>
grep hpet /proc/timer_list
</code>

If this does not display "Clock Event Device: hpet", then add

<code>
hpet=force
</code>

to your kernel boot options (usualy in /boot/grub/menu.lst or lilo.conf).
Note that "hpet=force" is only available by default in 2.6.24-rc2 and above
(or as a separated patch for 2.6.22 and 2.6.23, see below).

===Useful Patches===

Thomas Gleixner High Resolution Timers (hrt) patchset brings many improvements,
like the cpuidle work and Udo A. Steinberg and Venki Pallipadi "force
enable HPET" patches (non HPET timers causes about 20-40 CPU wakeups/second, but
HPET is often hidden by the BIOS due to Windows XP deficiencies). Those are
fully merged in 2.6.24-rc1 vanilla kernel.
See http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/

Kristen Carlson Accardi from Intel has a patchset to turn on "Aggressive
Link Power Management" (ALPM) for the AHCI driver (for SATA bus). Also from
Accardi, SATA Asynchronous Notification (SATA AN), alows SATA link to notify
media insertions (thus avoid hal polling the cdrom). Those patches were merged
in 2.6.24-rc2 kernel (AN needs also support in hal to be used).
See: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/kristen/patches/SATA/alpm/

As of now (2.6.24-rc8), the linux kernel doesn't support PCI Express power
management (aka PCIe ASPM, aka PCIe LPM). Shaohua Li from Intel submited a
patch on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/17/544 ) though, and reported it
to reduce power consumption by 1.3 watts for a system with three PCIe links.

The [[HDAPS]] disk protection systems can reduce battery life.
Matthew Garrett provides [http://www.linuxpowertop.org/patches/hdaps.patch a patch]
that prevents hdaps kernel module to generate interrupts when
this feature isn't used.

===Useful sysctls===
The meaning of those settings is explained case by case on the relevant
sections of this document. But for convenience sake, we group them here too.

Note that the "ondemand" scaling governor is recommended by Intel developers
for energy efficiency: it's expected to be more efficient than the "powersave"
governor, or than userspace daemons (like cpufreq-utils, cpufreqd, powernowd...).
Look [http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-May/000071.html here],
[http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-May/000073.html here], or
[http://www.bughost.org/pipermail/power/2007-May/000166.html here] for a
kernel developer explanation about "ondemand" being better on modern Intel CPUs.

The "link_power_management_policy" tunable won't be available unless you
run a 2.6.24-rc2 or more kernel, or applied Kirsten patchset, have an Intel
AHCI compatible chipset, and use SATA drives.

<code>
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog
echo Y > /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/sched_mc_power_savings
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/*/power/autosuspend; do echo 1 > $i; done
# those sysctl's are only available if you have an AHCI compatible SATA
# controler and use kernel > 2.6.24-rc2 (or use Kristen ALPM patchset) :
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy
echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy
</code>

If you're running a kernel older than 2.6.22 do this. Not needed for kernels 2.6.22 onward:

<code>
cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq
cat ondemand/sampling_rate_max > ondemand/sampling_rate
</code>

==ATA drives==
Hard drives and CDRom drives spinning is very costly. To improve battery
lifetime, you should reduce disks access (or devices polling) the more you
can.

===Hard Drives===
The files access time update, while mandated by POSIX, is causing lots of
disks access; even accessing files on disk cache may wake the ATA or USB
bus. If you don't use this feature, disable it via:

<code>
mount -o remount,noatime / # and so on for all mounted fs
</code>

The laptop_mode reduce disk usage by regrouping writes. You should enable
it, at least while on battery. See [[Laptop-mode]] for more details:

<code>
echo 5 > /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
</code>

The default kernel dirty page writeback frequency is very conservative. On
a laptop running on battery, one might find more appropriate to reduce it:

<code>
echo 1500 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs
</code>

Some power saving hard drives features can be activated with hdparm (beware
that "-B 1" may reduce your drive lifetime, if you have lot of intermittent
disk activity causing lots of heads load/unloads: so reduce I/O activity first,
as explained above, in order to get longer disks idling periods).
For more details look at [[How to make use of Power Management features]] :

<code>
hdparm -B 1 -S 12 /dev/sda # and/or any other disk device
</code>

===Optical drive===
The optical drive is reported to consume power even when not accessed. See

* [[How to hotswap UltraBay devices|Eject the UltraBay optical drive]], or just turn off its power supply (i.e., run the appropriate eject script but leave the drive inserted).
* [[How to set optical drive speed|Reduce the spinning speed of the optical drive]].

The hald daemon polling tends to maintain the ATA buses out of power saving
modes, and to wakeup CDROM drive (except if you have a kernel >= 2.6.24, hal >= 0.5.10,
and SATA AN compatible devices). If you have a recent hald version, you
can stop this polling when on battery:

<code>
hal-disable-polling --device /dev/scd0 # or whatever your CD drive is
</code>

start polling again when on ac:
<code>
hal-disable-polling --enable-polling --device /dev/scd0 # or whatever your CD drive is

If your hald is not recent enough, consider suspending it when running on battery. Some moderns SATA buses and drivers supports a notification mechanism (SATA AN - Asynchronous Events Notifications) that obsolete the need for polling on modern hardware; support for this feature had been merged in Linux 2.6.24-rc1 and HAL 0.5.10.

==LCD Backlight/Brightness==
The LCD backlight is one of the very major power drain.
Reducing brightness to the lowest readable
level will save a lot of battery lifetime. Also, don't forget to configure
your screen saver to shutdown the screen backlight (rather than displaying some
eye candy), when no activity for a few minutes.

You can also let the system [[automatically reduce brightness]] after a
period of inactivity.

If you're choosing your Thinkpad laptop model, keep in mind that the screen
size affect the battery time greatly: more power needed for larger screens.

The very recent, but xorg standard way to control backlight from CLI is
using xbacklight. ie. to set backlight at half the brightness:

<code>
xbacklight -set 50
</code>

You should configure the DPMS to shutdown the screen when idle (rather than
displaying a fancy but power consuming screensaver). ie. to turn off the
display after 5mn of idling:

<code>
xset +dpms
xset dpms 0 0 300
</code>

==Graphic controllers==
All xorg Thinkpad graphics chipsets drivers (ati, radeon, fglrx, i810) have
the same bug causing very frequent CPU wakeups when DRI is activated, even
when you don't use any 3D application.
This problem is partly fixed on xorg git tree but not released as of xorg
7.2. If you value more battery than 3D, you should disable DRI: put this on
the /etc/X11/xorg.conf "Device" of you graphic controller:

<code>
Option "NoDRI"
</code>

Also be sure that DPMS is working: <code>grep DPMS /var/log/Xorg.0.log</code>
should output "DPMS enabled". If not, put <code>Option "DPMS"</code> in your config.
See the section above about how to enable dpms driven display power saving.

On recent xrandr/xorg versions, you can disable the TV output (or any other detected
as connected but not used outputs) when you're not using it: it's known to consume power.

<code>
xrandr # see all displays listed here, but that you don't actually use and disable them.
xrandr --output TV -off # for instance (if "xrandr" above listed a connected output named "TV" that you don't use)
</code>

When you don't have an external monitor plugged, disable CRT and DVI output
(for some, this can make a difference in power usage) :
<code>
echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
</code>

Some drivers have specials power saving mode, and/or allows underclocking the GPU. See also:
* [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]], or with [[Rovclock]] on ATI.
* [[Problem with high power drain in ACPI sleep]]

==USB Subsystem==
The kernel support an efficient USB 2.0 power saving feature if you enabled
CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND. This may not trigger in when you have an USB device
plugged (and beside, USB devices tends to suck power on their own), so avoid
using such devices when on battery. To enable it by default, you must add the line
<code>
options usbcore autosuspend=1
</code>
to your <tt>/etc/modprobe.conf</tt> or add it to (and create if necessary) the file <tt>/etc/modprobe.d/usbcore</tt> depending on how your distribution organises modprobe configuratoin.

If on the other hand, you have <tt>usbcore</tt> built into your kernel, you can add this in the kernel boot options (ie. in grub's menu.lst):

<code>
usbcore.autosuspend=1
</code>

or at runtime, per device, with:

<code>
for i in /sys/bus/usb/devices/%s/power/autosuspend; do echo 1 > $i; done
</code>

USB 1.1 is worst. It needs polling the bus frequently, hence can't really go
in a low power mode when you enabled it, even if you don't have any device
plugged. You'd better remove it when you don't use a 1.1 device:

<code>
rmmod uhci_hcd
</code>

If you don't intend to use any device needing USB 1.1 (unfortunately, the built-in bluetooth and fingerprint-reader are USB 1.1 devices), the USB 1.1 support can also be totally avoided. On Debian and derivatives, just do:

<code>
echo "blacklist uhci_hcd" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
</code>

Same for PCMCIA/Cardbus. Some users experiences interrupts clouds (sometime up to
several thousands interrupts/second) causing CPU wakeups, thus totally preventing
the CPU to reach lower C-states.
If you don't use PCMCIA, you may disable it the same way (unloading seems insufficient
to restore the system properly, you have to boot without it):

<code>
echo "blacklist pcmcia" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
echo "blacklist yenta_socket" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
</code>

==Sound==
ALSA has a power saving feature that should be enabled on your kernel
(CONFIG_SND_AC97_POWER_SAVE). Note that this low power mode won't trigger in
unless you muted all sound inputs (micro, line in etc.). This feature has
to be activated with:

<code>
amixer set Line mute nocap
amixer set Mic mute nocap
echo Y > /sys/module/snd_ac97_codec/parameters/power_save
</code>

More radical: you can unload all sound related modules when you are on
battery, or mute the sound system (echo mute > /proc/acpi/ibm/volume).

See also [[How to enable audio codec power saving]].

==Wireless Interface==
===intel wireless===
Wireless network consume a lot of power.
To save power, you can kill the Wi-Fi radio when it's not in use:

<code>
echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/rf_kill
</code>

If you need Wi-Fi, you can also reduce power consumption (at the price of
performances) by activating the power saving modes:

<code>
iwpriv eth1 set_power 5
</code>

For drivers using the new Wi-Fi kernel framework (mac80211/cfg80211),
the canonical way to do this is now:

<code>
for i in /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/power_level ; do echo 5 > $i ; done
</code>

Most drivers, like ipw2200, that don't use the new mac80211 framework place the
interfaces in aggressive scanning mode when they are not associated with any
Access Point, even when the interface is down (more info about this on Intel's
[http://www.lesswatts.org/tips/wireless.php LessWatts] website).
This behavior consumes a lot of power, even more than when the interface
is plain active and in use. But this can disabled at module's load time :

<code>
rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200 associate=0
</code>

You can fix this setting by placing the following in /etc/modprobe.d/options
(Debian/Ubuntu) or in /etc/modprobe.conf (Red Hat/Fedora):

<code>
options ipw2200 associate=0
</code>

Reducing beacon intervals on your Access Point to 1 per second will also
reduce network card interrupts, therefore power savings. This shouldn't have
negatives side effects.

See also, to activate power saving on the wireless network card:
* For [[Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Mini-PCI Adapter]] and [[Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter]], see instructions for the [[ipw2200]] driver.
* For [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter]], see the [http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/README.ipw3945 ipw3945 driver README]

==Ethernet Controler==
If you don't use Wake-on-LAN, you should disable it for your network card,
because it sucks a lot of power:

<code>
ethtool -s eth0 wol d
</code>

If you can, try to reduce useless network activity on your ethernet
segment, coming to your NIC (ie. uneeded broadcasts), those cause
interrupts and CPU wakeups.

Forcing 100Mbps full-duplex speed on a gigabit ethernet NIC can also save a lot of power (~1W) on most network workloads. This also reduces components temperature (e.g., [[Thermal Sensors|thermal sensor]] 0xC0 on the {{T43}} cools down by 5 degree between 1000Mbps and 100Mbps, and another 1 degree for 10Mbps).

<code>
ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off speed 100
</code>

Note, however, that if the network device on the other side has auto-negotiation enabled (which is very common) and you turn auto-negotiation off, the other side will assume half-duplex mode and you will experience a significant loss of performance.

==Bluetooth==
When you don't need bluetooth, disable it. Because of its radio,
bluetooth is not power friendly.

<code>
hciconfig hci0 down ; rmmod hci_usb
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
</code>

==Modem==
When was the last time you used your analog modem? If you can't remember, you probably just don't need it. If it is on a separate module in your laptop, simply remove it. Store it in a ESD safe place (like the bag in which your last addon card or hard drive was packed), in case you should need it again. This won't save you a lot of power and weight, but why carry something around you never use.

==System Fans==
Fans consumes power when running, so you may look at the [[ACPI fan control script]].

==Misbehaving Userland==
You should avoid using Beagle, Compiz, Beryl, XMMS, gnome-power-manager
and Evolution while on battery.
Look at the PowerTOP's [http://www.linuxpowertop.org/known.php known problems]
list.

Deactivate desktop animations (blinking cursor on the terms, animated wallpapers, ...): they cause regular X (therefore kernel and CPU) wakeups.

In short, while on battery, you should stop all applications that don't really stay idle when you're not using them. This means applications that:
* Wakes up the CPU too often (by polling something, because of too short select() timeouts, ...)
* Access the disks at regular intervals
* Access an hardware bus (USB, ATA, ...) at regular intervals
To find those offenders run:
* <code>strace -p $(pidof yourapp)</code> # for all your running applications
* <code>powertop</code>
* <code>sysctl vm.block_dump=1</code> # and look at dmesg
* <code>ps aux | awk '{print$10,$11}' | sort -n</code> # will list all running softs sorted by used cpu time
Please, don't forget to fill a bug when you find such a misbehaving software.
{{NOTE|Not all software is evil, buggy or badly written. Some produce regular activity because they have to, in order to provide their intented functionality. Think twice before filling bugs about this.}}

{{WARN|BIOS 70ET67WW v. 1.27 for the TP-70 (T43, R52) dated 2006/10/04 and later require vesafb:nocrtc parameter in vesafb-tng mode. Your console screen will become black without it.}}

{{NOTE|Firefox or Konqueror users should disable the '''Use IBM Download Director''' option when downloading files.}}

{{NOTE|All Lenovo T, X and R laptops have several bugs in the BIOS that are being actively fixed by Lenovo. For these laptops, BIOS updates are not optional if you find anything to not be working properly, be it the brightness control, or suspend to RAM, or volume keys.}}

|-

You can check current BIOS and Embedded Controller versions using <b>dmidecode</b> command line tool. For example:
bash# dmidecode | grep 70
Version: 70ET69WW (1.29 )
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[70HT28WW-1.05 ]-

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

ATI Mobility Radeon X300

2007-10-03T07:38:22Z

Blshkv: /* S-Video port (TV-out) */

__NOTOC__
{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top" |
<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:right;">

This is an ATI video adapter

== Features ==
* Chipset: ATI M22
* PCI ID: 1002:5460
* PCI Express x16
* 32 or 64MB GDDR1 on-chip video memory
* "HyperMemory": can use system memory for graphics processing - 128MB or 256MB, depending on driver version. The original Windows driver used 128MB;later versions use up to 256MB. This may depend on the amount of RAM installed in the Thinkpad.
* "PowerPlay 4.0" technology for dynamic engine clock, memory clock and core voltage, refresh rate reduction and thermal status reporting.
</div>
|style="vertical-align:top" |
|}

== X.org drivers ==

The X.org [[radeon]] driver works well and support 2D acceleration and some other functionality such as basic power amangement. In conjunction with the [[r300]] DRI driver, [[radeon]] also provides 3D acceleration (the latter is not yet stable). ATI provides [[fglrx]], a closed-source Linux-only alternative which adds some functionality such as TV output and advanced power amangement (but has its own stability issues).

=== ThinkPad LCD ===
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

=== External VGA port ===
There are known problems. Both the [[radeon]] and [[fglrx]] drivers turn off the switching between internal and external port.

==== <tt>vesa</tt> driver ====
Using the [[vesa]] driver built into X.org, mode switching modes. However, this loses acceleration and some capabilities.

==== <tt>radeon</tt> driver ====
On-the-fly swiching doesn't work. To activate both ports in clone mode with a reasonable CRT refresh rate, use the following in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility X300"

Driver "radeon"
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"

Option "MergedFB" "on"
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-82"
EndSection

Note that without the <tt>MonitorLayout</tt> option, if the external monitor is connected when X starts then the LCD will be deactivated and you will need to restart X.

(Tested wth Fedora Core 4 on ThinkPad {{T43}}).

See also the related discussion about [[Additional options for the radeon driver]].

==== [[fglrx]] driver ====
On-the-fly works with <tt>aticonfig</tt> in the newest Drivers, see [[Fglrx#Display_Switching_.28Dynamic_Display_Management.29|Display Switching]]. Additionally, to use both ports there is the possibility to either have the monitor connected during X startup, or force activation of both ports by adding
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"
to the <tt>Device</tt> section in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}. Powering the CRT port consumes 400-500mW, regardless of whether a CRT is attached.

=== S-Video port (TV-out) ===

Works with the <b>proprietary</b> [[fglrx]] driver (as of version 8.19.10). To activate, add
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,tv"
to the <tt>Device</tt> section in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} and restart X.

<s>It also might work with <b>opensource</b> [[R300]] and the [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127642 follow] patch </s><br>
Use xorg opensource [[R300]] driver version 6.7 and later in order to enable S-Video.

=== DVI port ===
Works fine with the [[RandR 1.2]] [[radeon]] driver. The DVI connector is available only through a docking station or port replicator.

== 3D acceleration ==
OpenGL 3D acceleration is provided by the proprietary [[fglrx]] driver (when DRI is enabled). Note that performance is affected by the power saving mode.

The open source <tt>r300</tt> [[DRM]] module also aims to provide 3D acceleration. This currently requires the CVS/GIT versions of [[X.org]], [[DRM]] and [[Mesa]], and has been observed to occasionally crash (e.g., when running Google Earth or <tt>ppracer</tt>on a {{T43}}). You can [[How to compile an experimental X server|install it experimentally]] for testing.

== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ==

radeonfb might cause problems with hardware acceleration under X on some systems, vesafb and vesafb-tng on the other hand has been reported to work just fine.

== Clock rates, voltage and power==

|}

Experimentally, the difference between the Performance and Battery settings under Linux with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver and <tt>DynamicClocks</tt> enabled is roughly 0.3W and 3-4 degrees in GPU temperature on a ThinkPad {{T43}}. Further frequency reduction leads to display flickering or corruption.

See [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]] for details on how to control this using [[Rovclock]], [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features|<tt>DynamicClocks</tt> option to the <tt>radeon</tt> driver]] and or the [[fglrx]] driver.

Presently the lowest idle-mode power consumption is achieved using the proprietary [[fglrx]] driver and
# aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 --effective=now

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

===Software Suspend 2 - swsusp2===
Software Suspend 2, sometimes also called "swsusp2" and "suspend2", is an implementation of suspend-to-disk functionality in the form of a Linux kernel patch and several userspace utilities. It is an alternative to both the BIOS-driven hibernation feature found on most ThinkPad models, and the [[swsusp]] "software suspend" functionality built into recent Linux kernels.
|}

==Features==
Compared to the alternatives, Software Suspend 2 has some unique [http://suspend2.net/features features]:
* Saving the memory image into a swap file, a swap partition or a normal file on any filesystem.
* Cancelling a suspend in progress.
* Different bugs -- if the alternatives don't work, try this one!

It also have the following advantages over [[swsusp]] (these features are also provided, in principle, by the not-yet-stable [[uswsusp]]):
* The ability to compress the memory image as it is written to disk, thereby reducing suspend and resume times.
* Control over amount of RAM written to disk -- can (optionally) discard cached disk blocks to reduce suspend and resume times.
* Textual and graphical UI (optional).

Since it is implemented purely in software, Software Suspend 2 is in principle machine-independent and should work on all modern ThinkPad models. However, in some cases problematic drivers need to be unloaded before suspension. This is handled by the <tt>hibernate</tt> script (see below).

|
|}

==Installation Instructions==
The [http://suspend2.net/ project home page] has a detailed HOWTO and FAQ. The following are just a few highlights.

===Modifying the initrd generation scripts, and recreate initrd===
If your systems uses an <tt>initrd</tt> file (most do), you'll need to patch or replace your <tt>initrd</tt>-creation script.

*{{Fedora}} 4: in {{path|/sbin/mkinitrd}}, find this line:
echo "echo Mounted /proc filesystem" >> $RCFILE
and add the following immediately afterwards:
echo "echo > /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume" >>$RCFILE
*{{Fedora}} 5: in {{path|/sbin/mkinitrd}}, find this line:
if [ -z "$noresume" -a -n "$swsuspdev" ]; then
and add the following immediately ''before'' the above:
emit "echo 1 > /sys/power/suspend2/do_resume"
You can also use the [http://atrpms.net/dist/fc5/mkinitrd-suspend2/ mkinitrd-suspend2] package from atrpms.
*{{Debian}}: If your system uses mkinitrd to create the initrd, copy [http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/swsusp/2.0.0.102/swsusp-initrd.sh swsusp-initrd.sh] script to your {{path|/etc/mkinitrd/scripts}} directory before creating initrd image. If you use initramfs-tools, put a similar script into {{path|/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/}} (the manpage of initramfs has templates of example "boot scripts")

In any case, make sure you regenerate your <tt>initrd</tt> file by reinstalling the kernel package or explicitly with mkinitrd or mkinitramfs commands.

===Hibernate script===
Software Suspend 2 works best with the <tt>hibernate</tt> script (available from the project home page), which takes care of auxiliary tasks needed on many systems (e.g., unloading problematic modules and restoring video modes).

====Availability====
*{{Gentoo}}: emerge hibernate-script
*{{Fedora}}: kernel and hibernate RPMs are available at http://mhensler.de/swsusp/
*{{Ubuntu}}: packages for Ubuntu Dapper Drake (kernel, hibernate, suspend2ui-userui): http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/dapper-kernels/
*{{Ubuntu}}: experimental packages for Ubuntu Edgy Eft (kernel, hibernate, suspend2ui-userui): http://3v1n0.tuxfamily.org/dists/edgy/suspend2/
*PLD: poldek -iv hibernate
*Other: check the home page for packages (deb, i386 rpm, tgz, and source rpm) from http://www.suspend2.net

==Configuration tips==
=== Crash fix ===
To avoid pages being resaved during suspend use kernel 2.6.19.2 and suspend2 2.2.9.1 (not stable yet)
OR add the following to
{{path|/etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf:}}
ProcSetting full_pageset2 1
===RediSafe-like functionality===
The hibernate functionality on some ThinkPad BIOSes offers the useful "RediSafe" feature, which suspends to both RAM and disk. This way you get quick resumes (directly from RAM), plus the safey of suspend-to-disk in case the battery runs out.

Software Suspend 2 provides this feature too; simply add the following to {{path|/etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf}}:
PowerdownMethod 3

===Be aware of possible filesystem corruption scenarios===
Certain usage scenarios can cause filesystem corruption with suspend2. Some details on this are in [http://www.suspend2.net/HOWTO-4.html#ss4 the project's HOWTO]. None of the workaround configurations fix the problem satisfactorily, so be warned. In particular, with an ext3 root filesystem, if you suspend to swap partition, and then use sysrescCD/Knoppix/some other way to mount the root filesystem read-only, you risk data corruption when you try to resume from the suspended image.

As far as possible, after suspending the system, don't touch the root filesystem unless you are resuming from it :)

Problems with fglrx

2007-02-08T22:56:03Z

Blshkv: /* Hardlock on X logout */

This page discusses issues with the ATI proprietary [[fglrx]] display driver.

== Known Troubles and Solutions ==

=== X-specific issues ===

ATI proprietary drivers version 8.21.7 and later work with x.org 6.9.

If you are running an older version (8.20.8) under Debian sid and you upgrade your xserver-xorg, apt will force you to remove any debian-packaged fglrx drivers (package fglrx-driver depends on x.org << 6.8.99). You can just download the driver from the ATI site and install after modifying the Debian packager script to allow dependencies to be satisfied by x.org 6.9, or just download 8.21.7 and install manually. See talk page for step-by-step commands.

After installing the fglrx driver, you can use module-assist to build the appropriate kernel module.

=== Kernel-specific troubles ===

Using ATI drivers <=8.21.7 with kernel >=2.6.15 needs a [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113429835515001&w=2 patch]. (see table below for detail.) If you can't compile the driver modules with 2.6.15 or later, you should apply this [http://www.ksp.sk/~rasto/fglrx_with_2.6.15.patch patch] instead.

If you do not use one of these patches, you may experience peculiar lockups of X. Try {{cmduser|fglrxinfo}} - if your shell hangs at the end of this command, you may have an issue and should try the patch or upgrade.

Although unproven, there is a substantial amount of user / developer concern that the above patches prevent hard lockups but do not provide full reliability with 2.6.15 and there are larger / redisgn issues preventing compatibility. These issues have been fixed with later ATI drivers (> 8.21.7) so you can simply upgrade if you are running a more modern kernel.

=== No hardware acceleration ===

====Acceleration lost after driver update====
If you lose hardware acceleration after a driver update this can be caused by an old fglrx kernel module being loaded.

Check out {{path|1=/var/log/Xorg.0.log}} for a message like:
:<code>(WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver.</code>
:<code>(EE) fglrx(0): incompatible kernel module detected - HW accelerated OpenGL will not work</code>

You can verify this yourself by looking at the version message some lines above. It should read something not matching the installed version like:
:<code>(II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information:</code>
:<code>(II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx</code>
:<code>(II) fglrx(0): Version: 8.10.19</code>

The cause for this trouble might be that there resist multiple versions of the fglrx module within the kernel module search path.<br>
Go to {{path|1=/lib/modules/<your linux kernel version>/}} and type {{cmdroot|1=grep fglrx modules.dep}}.<br>
If grep finds multiple lines you nailed down the problem. All you have to do now is to delete any versions of the module (look at the filedate) but the most current one. Then run {{cmdroot|1=depmod}} and you are done.

{{HINT|Newer versions (8.21.7) of the fglrx module seem to be installed in the <code>extra/</code> subdirectory.<br>
Older versions (8.19.10) used to be located in the <code>kernel/drivers/char/drm/</code> subdirectory.}}

====GCC 3.4====
If the ATI driver works only without the hardware acceleration, take into consideration that {{path|fglrx_dri.so}} was linked against libstdc++.so.5 which may not be present if your system uses gcc-3.4.

To fix this, compile gcc-3.3.5 and copy <tt>libstdc++.so.5*</tt> to {{path|/usr/lib}} and update the dynamic linker cache via {{cmdroot|ldconfig}}.

Or install a compat package for your favorite distro. FC4 users can do:
:{{cmdroot|yum install libstdc++.so.5}}

====radeonfb framebuffer====
Another possible cause for broken hardware acceleration (2D and 3D) is the radeonfb framebuffer: Switching to vesafb or vesafb-tng is reported to solve the problem on some systems. Also it has proven helpful to not perform {{cmdroot|modprobe fglrx}} after boot but to have the module loaded via {{path|/etc/modules.autoload/kernel2.x}} at boottime instead.

====Perpetual Mesa GLX Indirect on Debian====
If you've done everything right and you're still seeing:

:{{cmduser|fglrxinfo}}
:{{cmdresult|display: :0.0 screen: 0}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)}}

try this:

:{{cmdroot|mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri}}
:{{cmdroot|ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri}}

Thanks to Maciej Matysiak for the clear debug [http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/02/msg00217.html here] and solution [http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2006/02/msg00311.html here].

More generally, use LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose fglrxinfo, to see what's happening, and whether you get this:
:{{cmduser|<nowiki>LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose</nowiki> fglrxinfo}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.26.18 fglrx (screen 0)}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL error: dlopen /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so failed (/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL error: unable to find driver: fglrx_dri.so}}
:{{cmdresult|display: :0.0 screen: 0}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.2)}}

instead of that:
:{{cmduser|<nowiki>LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose</nowiki> fglrxinfo}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.26.18 fglrx (screen 0)}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL: XF86DRIGetClientDriverName: 8.26.18 fglrx (screen 0)}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenByBusid: busid is PCI:1:0:0}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenDevice: minor is 0}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenDevice: open result is 4, (OK)}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 4}}
:{{cmdresult|drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:1:0:0}}
:{{cmdresult|Can't open configuration file /home/merlin/.drirc: No such file or directory.}}
:{{cmdresult|fglrx: DPD supported.}}
:{{cmdresult|display: :0.0 screen: 0}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY FIREGL T2 Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) (GNU_ICD)}}
:{{cmdresult|OpenGL version string: 2.0.5879 (8.26.18)}}

I have contacted ATI to add that info by default, the mesa guys to do that in glxinfo too, as well as the debian packager to fix the debian packaging bug (2006/07/22), so hopefully the situation will improve soon

You may have to run fglrxinfo as root to get this detail rather than a useless message.

=== Softlink hell ===
The [[fglrx]] installer replaces the standard X.org OpenGL implementation (Mesa) with its own files, potentially causing collisions with the distribution's file and package management. It is best to install the driver via a package built for your distribution, which will typically include the necessary kludges to make things work. See the [[fglrx]] page for pointers.

====Discussion====
If using {{cmduser|fglrxinfo}} after installing [[fglrx]] indicates that you are still using the mesa indirect software GL renderer, you likely have some misplaced softlinks. It seems like it has to do with an apt-get upgrade that sometimes replaces these links. Anyway, go to
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/X11R6/lib}}
and list your GL libraries and links
:{{cmdroot|ls -la *GL*}}
You should see something like the following two lines amoung others:
:{{cmdresult|libGL.so -> libGL.so.1.2}}
:{{cmdresult|libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.2}}
If you see a link to a mesa library (something like {{cmdresult|... -> libGL.mesa.1.2}}), then that's your problem! Restore the softlink like this (use your actual library version, though):
:{{cmdroot|ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1}}

For some reason, this link might "break" later, giving you the software rendering once more. Even after renaming the mesa library to something like <tt>mesa.bkup</tt>, the system might still find it and link to it despite the name change. If you have to do this a lot, you could write a restoreGL script.

=====Gentoo=====
{{Gentoo}} has built in tools for managing the OpenGL symlinks. They seem to be replacing the old tool with a new one, so one of the following should work for you:
:{{cmdroot|opengl-update ati}} or
:{{cmdroot|eselect opengl set ati}}
Eselect is new, and still ~x86 (as of the end of 2005), so you may not have it yet. <tt>opengl-update</tt> is the old tried-and-true method for managing the symlinks. If <tt>opengl-update</tt> doesn't fix it for you, you should probably tell [http://bugs.gentoo.org Gentoo Bugzilla] (assuming they don't know yet).

If {{cmdroot|ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxinfo}} shows that your system still uses the xorg-x11 mesa libs after trying one of the above commands, i.e. a line like this:
:{{cmdresult|1=libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x400a8000)}}
you will also need to relink {{path|libGl.so.1.2}}:
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/}}
:{{cmdroot|mv libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.2_backup}}
:{{cmdroot|ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.2}}
After another restart of X {{cmduser|fglrxinfo}} should show that it's using the right libs now.

=====Debian=====

:{{cmdroot|rm /usr/lib/libGL.so*}}
:{{cmdroot|rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so*}}
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/X11R6/lib}}
:{{cmdroot|cp /usr/lib/fglrx/diversions/lib/libGL.so.1.2 .}}
:{{cmdroot|ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1}}
:{{cmdroot|ldconfig}}

=== Troubles using software suspend ===
When the computer resumes from suspend, X only displays a garbled image and the computer is frozen.
The problem is acknowledged in ATI's release notes and in knowledge base entry <strike>[https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBResult.asp?searchFor=Search+Words&search.x=0&search.y=0&searchOption=id&questionID=737-218+&task=knowledge&searchTime=-1&productID=&folderID=-1&resultLimit=50 737-218]</strike> [https://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=218 737-218]. Driver version 8.19.10 has "initial support for Suspend and Resume" but is working very nicely for most people (verified on T43, T43p and T42) without vbetool.

If you are using an older version of fglrx, using [http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~mjg59/vbetool/ vbetool] to save/restore the video card state before/after suspend worked for some people. If you use [[Software Suspend 2|Software Suspend 2 (suspend2)]] scripts, you can simply uncomment <tt>EnableVbetool yes</tt> in {{path|/etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf}}. Be aware though that it breaks suspend/resume for drivers beginning with version 8.19.10, so remember to disable it again when upgrading.

=== Troubles with large RAM ===
Version 8.14.13 (and probably earlier versions) of the driver does not seem to be able to cope with large amounts of RAM: with 512 MB it works, with 1.5 GB it crashes the machine as soon as X is started. The problem is present only if the <tt>fglrx</tt> kernel module is loaded, but independently of whether {{kernelconf|CONFIG_HIGHMEM||||||}} is enabled. A workaround is to limit RAM by adding the {{bootparm|mem|864m}} kernel parameter.

Version 8.16.20 fixes the problem.

===Display switching ===
The switching between internal and external display doesn't work with fglrx versions <= 8.24.8, because the driver blocks messing around with the chipset via ACPI. If you want to use this feature (i.e. during presentations), you should use the <tt>vesa</tt> server instead (experienced with a R52, Kernel 2.6.11, xorg 6.8.2, fglrx 8.16.20). Or boot notebook with CRT connected, it will automatically detect it and display on both.

===Composite Support===
ATI has not officially supported composite windowing (alpha channel) enabling hardware acclerated translucent windows (primarily for 'eye candy.') Enabling Composite in KDE and the fglrx driver results in a very pretty desktop but unacceptably slow performance on a T43p with ATI's FireGL T2. It is still unusable in its current state (as of driver 8.25.18).

ATI promises support in the future when composite is officially supported by Xorg. Discussion of current status of drivers can be found in the Rage3d forums' (http://rage3d.com/board) Linux area.

Composite support is now supported with recent Mesa and Xorg > 7 with the open source 3d radeon drivers (if you run debian unstable, you should be all set.) It works with the [[R300]] / FireGL T2 series as found on the T43p, but noticably slows down the system. This has made rapid progress in speed with the latest few releases and kernel 2.6.18, and is finally usable with an R300 based card. Expect drivers to improve in the future, but it seems that composite does require a very fast video card and system.

===Hardlock on X logout===
Up from driver version 8.19.10 you will experience a system hard lock when logging out from X, if the session manager (kdm/gdm) is not properly configured. You have to tell the session manager to restart X.

In the kdm config file (gentoo: {{path|/usr/kde/<VERSION>/share/config/kdm/kdmrc}}) you have to add following to the section <code>[X-:*-Core]</code>:
TerminateServer=true

In the gdm config (/etc/gdm/gdm.conf) file add the following to the daemon-section:
AlwaysRestartServer=true

Information from the ATI bugtracker: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239

Another reason of hardlock my be using the wrong AGP driver. Make sure that you have proper drivers for your motherboard loaded before fglrx: (gentoo: {{path|/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6}}):
intel-agp
fglrx

A common problem seems to be mistakenly using ATI Chipset drivers instead of Intel.

Information from gentoo bugtracker: <s>[http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113685 113685]</s>. Fixed in 8.25.18

===Cannot switch to VT===

With usplash boot enabled, it may not be possible to switch to a VT from X (Using Alt+Fn). Tested on T60p (Mobility Fire GLV5200) on Ubuntu 6.06 / 6.10 and fglrx 8.25.18 / 8.28.8. Display may become garbled and system might freeze. Solution (testet on Ubuntu 6.10) is to either remove the "splash" kernel boot parameter or add "vga=791" parameter.

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/63558

===Flickering Display===

Some people have reported problems with their display flickering when using ati-drivers newer than 8.14.13. The problem is unclear
(possibly associated with an incorrect modeline setting) and no known solution exists except to use the open source radeon drivers.
You can follow this problem here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=248

===Error messages in system log===

If you find something like the following in {{path|/var/log/messages}}:

:{{cmdresult|kernel: mtrr: base(0xc0000000) is not aligned on a size(0x7ff0000) boundary}}
:{{cmdresult|kernel: [fglrx:firegl_addmap] *ERROR* mtrr allocation failed (-22)}}
:{{cmdresult|kernel: [fglrx:firegl_unlock] *ERROR* Process 5132 using kernel context 0}}

try to execute the following line and reload the fglrx module:

:{{cmdroot|1=echo "base=0xd0000000 size=0x8000000 type=write-combining" > /proc/mtrr}}

More detailed instructions can be found [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=115104 here].

===Hang when logging out===

A common problem is that when logging out from X, instead of gettign the KDM or GDM prompt, the system hangs.

This is discussed, including workarounds here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239

===No power saving when CRT in use===

When both CRT and LCD are in use, power saving cannot be enabled.

This is reported here: http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=304

===WineX / Cedega Installs Software But Errors on Loading Games===

Some users may experience problems with certain FIREGL cards (in my case an ibm t43p laptop with a v3200 ati firegl) whereby projects such as cedega and wine refuse to work with 3d graphics, but native binaries (e.g. quake 4) work fine. A possible workaround is to add the following line in the drivers section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Option "UseFastTLS" "2"

This option used to be configured with the older ati drivers when you ran "fglrxconfig". I have not yet found a way to get it to appear with "aticonfig", hence the manual insertion. This option is good for several linux distros I have tried, fedora core 5, ubuntu dapper and suse 10.1. It does not appear to effect performance on natively run programs.

===Line Appears Below Mouse Cursor===

Some users have reported seeing a line approximately 1 mouse height below the bottom edge of the cursor, which follows the mouse and appears to change color based on the image below the cursor. This has been seen to happen using fglrx without the kernel module installed (in 2D mode) and additionally on external displays or multiple X servers. To work around the problem, try disabling the DGA extension by making the following changes to your XFree86.conf or xorg.conf file. Replace (or comment-out)
Load "extmod"
with
SubSection "extmod"
Option "omit xfree86-dga"
EndSubSection

===Freeze while using OpenGL Apps===

Some OpenGL applications such as screensavers or games (SecondLife) cause freezes. The cursor still moves, but otherwise the machine is unresponsive. This is the case with Xorg 7.1 and fglrx 8.29.6 using an x1400 and other cards. The solution is to add the following options to the video Device section in xorg.conf:
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"

== Patches ==
The following patches might be needed for certain versions of fglrx.

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

{{WARN|Lenovo silently recalled the 1.11 BIOS for the X60 and T60. No information about this recall is known, they just reverted the BIOS download page, reverting changelogs.}}

{{WARN|Latest BIOS for T43(1871) Version: 70ET67WW (1.27)
Release Date: 2006/10/04 is buggy. Console won't work in VESA-1024x768 mode using vesa-trg any more.}}

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

How to protect the harddisk through APS

2006-10-19T23:47:10Z

Blshkv: /* How APS works in Linux */

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
This page tells you how to make the [[Active Protection System]] work under Linux to protect your harddrive from damage in case of a notebook drop or other kind of impact while it is running.

Specific instructions for {{Fedora}} can be found [[Installing_Fedora_Core_5_on_a_ThinkPad_X41_Tablet#Harddrive_Active_Protection_System_.28HDAPS.29|here]].

== How APS works in Linux ==
APS in Linux consists of four components on the software side:
* The [[HDAPS]] driver (included in recent kernels). It exports a sysfs interface providing the acceleration values.
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>hdaps_protect</tt>] disk protection kernel patch, which exports a sysfs interface that enables an ide or sata disk to be protected by a userspace process.
* The [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>hdapsd</tt>] disk protection userspace daemon. It monitors the acceleration values through the HDAPS interface and automatically initiates disk protection through the hdaps_protect interface - given that the movement exceeds a user specified threshold.
* Optional: the [http://roy.marples.name/node/269 khdapsmonitor KDE System Tray applet] or [http://www.oakcourt.dyndns.org/projects/khdapsmon/ <tt>khdapsmon</tt> KDE System Tray applet] or the [http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/ <tt>gnome-hdaps-applet</tt>]. These applets provide a visual indication of the disk protection status and also a graphical interface for adjusting configuration options for <tt>hdapsd</tt>.
|}

==Installation==
As mentioned above, the hdaps kernel driver found in recent kernels is only responsible for reading the accelerometer data and exporting it through the sysfs interface.

In order to use this information to protect the disk, some additional steps are required.

* Download and build the latest hdaps_protect disk protection kernel patches.
* Enable the drivers in the kernel (requires kernel rebuild).
* Download, build and configure the hdapsd userspace daemon.
* Download and build one of the applets to get a real-time representation of the disk protection status.

=== Adding kernel support ===
A kernel patch is required for disk head parking and queue freezing.

==== Manually patching and compiling a kernel ====
As root, do:
:{{cmdroot|cd /usr/src/linux}}
:{{cmdroot|patch -p1 < ~/hdaps_protect.20060409.patch}}
:{{cmdroot|make clean}}
:{{cmdroot|make}}
:{{cmdroot|make modules_install}}

=== Installing hdapsd ===
==== Manual compilation from source ====
* Download the <tt>hdapsd</tt> sources (see above)
* Compile using {{cmdroot|gcc -o hdapsd hdapsd-*.c}}
* Run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd -d sda -s 12 -a}} (replace <tt>sda</tt> with your hard disk device; run {{cmdroot|./hdapsd}} without arguments for help)

==== Gentoo ====
{{Gentoo}} users can try the ebuild attached to [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119845 gentoo bug 119845].
{{NOTE|1=hdapsd was added to the official portage tree on the 26th June 2006.}}
*Add hdapsd support in your kernel: device drivers -> hardware monitoring -> ... (you need it as a module if you want to use tp_smapi and hdaps, see [[Tp_smapi]])
*Download the ebuild, use same ebuild date as the kernel-patch.
*Make known the portage an extern ebuild path and add the following line to {{path|/etc/make.conf}}:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" (or any other location)
*Create directory {{path|/usr/local/portage}} and {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/}}
*Copy the downloaded ebuild to {{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop}} ({{path|/usr/local/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd}} should now exists)
*Make portage known the new ebuild and creat digist with:
:{{cmdroot|ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-laptop/hdapsd/hdapsd-20060326.ebuild digest}}
*Optional: Copy source file to portage distfiles (if no internet connection is available):
:{{cmdroot|cp hdapsd-20060326.c /usr/portage/distfiles}}
*Accept the x86 keyword for this package: {{cmdroot|echo "app-laptop/hdapsd ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords}}
*Install hdapsd with: {{cmdroot|emerge hdapsd}}.
*Edit {{path|/etc/conf.d/hdapsd}} (change your harddrive if neccessary: mine is sda, and change the value from 5, 5 is to sensitive, 12 is a good value in my opinion).
*start deamon with: {{cmdroot|/etc/init.d/hdapsd start}}
*Optional: add to default runlevel: {{cmdroot|rc-update add hdapsd default, rc-update add hdapsd battery}}
Write an eMail to abartel[Ã¤d]htwm.de, if you want to get my hdapsd-20060326.ebuild and please upload it.

=== Building an applet ===
====hdaps-gl====
*Make sure you have installed hdaps [and loaded] and ?opengl?
*Download <tt>hdaps-gl-0.0.5</tt> from the web.
*Extract files to {{path|/opt/hdaps-gl}}.
*{{cmdroot|make}}
*Start the applet: {{cmdroot|./hdaps-gl}}

====khdapsmon====
This application uses GNU autotools, so building it is the same as any other autotooled program:
*extract the source somewhere and change to that directory,
*run {{cmdroot|./configure && make && make install}}.
See [[#Getting the files|above]] for Debian packages and a Gentoo ebuild.

====gnome-hdaps-applet====
=====Debian/Ubuntu=====
Packages available at site listed above (with source packages that can do the building for you)

==Troubleshooting==
See the [[Problem with APS harddisk parking]] page for troubleshooting APS issues.
{{NOTE|1=If you use [[tp_smapi]], remember to include the option <tt>HDAPS=1</tt> when [[Tp_smapi#Installation|installing tp_smapi]]. Also, you might need to build the hdaps driver as module.}}

==Further Information==

This is an ATI video adapter

=== Features ===
* Chipset: ATI M22

* PCI Express x16
* 32 or 64MB GDDR1 on-chip video memory
* "HyperMemory": can use system memory for graphics processing

See [http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/specs.html specifications] from ATI, as well as the [http://www.ati.com/products/embedded/mobilityradeonx300/M22-CSP64_Product_Snapshot.pdf "snapshot" data sheet] (referes to the 32MB on-chip, 128MB "HyperMemory" version).

=== Linux driver ===

The X.org [[R300]] driver works well and support most (but not all) features together with 3D acceleration. ATI provides [[fglrx]], a closed-source alternative adding some patent protected functionality such as TV output but it's less stable then opensource version.

==== ThinkPad LCD ====
Display on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct.

==== External VGA port ====
There are known problems. Both the <tt>radeon</tt> and [[fglrx]] drivers turn off the switching between internal and external port.

=====With the <tt>vesa</tt> driver=====
Using the "vesa" driver built into X.org, mode switching modes. However, this loses acceleration and some capabilities.

=====With the <tt>radeon</tt> driver=====
On-the-fly swiching doesn't work. To activate both ports in clone mode with a reasonable CRT refresh rate, use the following in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility X300"

Driver "radeon"
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"

Option "MergedFB" "on"
Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT"
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "50-82"
EndSection

Note that without the <tt>MonitorLayout</tt> option, if the external monitor is connected when X starts then the LCD will be deactivated and you will need to restart X.

(Tested wth Fedora Core 4 on ThinkPad {{T43}}).

See also the related discussion about [[Additional options for the radeon driver]].

=====With the [[fglrx]] driver=====
On-the-fly works with <tt>aticonfig</tt> in the newest Drivers, see [[Fglrx#Display_Switching_.28Dynamic_Display_Management.29|Display Switching]]. Additionally, to use both ports there is the possibility to either have the monitor connected during X startup, or force activation of both ports by adding
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,crt1"
to the <tt>Device</tt> section in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}. Powering the CRT port consumes 400-500mW, regardless of whether a CRT is attached.

==== S-Video port (TV-out) ====

Works with the <b>proprietary</b> [[fglrx]] driver (as of version 8.19.10). To activate, add
Option "ForceMonitors" "lvds,tv"
to the <tt>Device</tt> section in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} and restart X.

It also might work with <b>opensource</b> [[R300]] and the [http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=127642 follow] patch

==== DVI port ====
??

=== 3D acceleration ===
OpenGL 3D acceleration is provided by the proprietary [[fglrx]] driver (when DRI is enabled). Note that performance is affected by the power saving mode.

The open source <tt>r300</tt> [[DRM]] module also aims to provide 3D acceleration. This currently requires the CVS/GIT versions of [[X.org]], [[DRM]] and [[Mesa]], and has been observed to occasionally crash (e.g., when running Google Earth or <tt>ppracer</tt>on a {{T43}}). You can [[How to compile an experimental X server|install it experimentally]] for testing.

=== Linux kernel Framebuffer driver ===

radeonfb might cause problems with hardware acceleration under X on some systems, vesafb and vesafb-tng on the other hand has been reported to work just fine.

=== Clock rates, voltage and power===
{| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"

Experimentally, the difference between the Performance and Battery settings under Linux with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver and <tt>DynamicClocks</tt> enabled is roughly 0.3W and 3-4 degrees in GPU temperature on a ThinkPad {{T43}}. Further frequency reduction leads to display flickering or corruption.

Presently the lowest idle-mode power consumption is achieved using the proprietary [[fglrx]] driver and

Blshkv: /* laptop acpi problem with hdaps */

So, this is in the stable kernel now, but what userspace program do we need to actually park the heads?
--[[User:MrStaticVoid|MrStaticVoid]] 01:26, 30 Oct 2005 (CEST)
----
Yes the hdaps driver is in the 2.6.14 kernel, but support to park the heads quickly and freeze the disk queue (to prevent the heads from getting un-parked) is not. There is some disagreement into how that should be implemented.

In other words, the hdaps driver for the moment is rather useless, unless you want to use it to play games.

--[[User:Tonko|Tonko]] 02:10, 30 Oct 2005 (CEST)

I head rumours that you can make SDL handle this like a joystick, e.g. for playing Neverball. Can anyone confirm or deny that? Thanx --[[User:Nomeata|Nomeata]] 01:16, 16 Nov 2005 (CET)

Yes it is possible to use it as a joystick, as Tonko allready mentioned.

Yeah, it's a pretty good party trick - set up the HDAPS joystick as xmame input. You can play Ms. Pac-man by tilting your laptop to make pac-man navigate the maze. You can imagine that the pac-man "rolls" downhill, just like those old wooden marble-puzzles that you see around. Heh, can actually clear a level or two.

Marble madness was strangely unsatisfying though, and just didn't work well (probably due to the diagonal nature of the screen in that game).

The main problem is in a not hanging variables when I read
/sys/devices/platform/hdaps/position

==I also have this problem!==
Hi, I also have this problem that on my X40 the device/platform/hdaps/position does not give the right response. It is simply constant (128,1).
Does anyone have a clue? I use the suse kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default from suse10.1. the hdaps sources in that kernel are the same as in the original kernel.
thanks in advance,
----

Does the HDAPS sensor work under Windows (as observed from actual disk parking, or the graphical animation)?
Also, try loading [[tp_smapi]], it includes some patches for the hdaps driver. Does it help?

--[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 16:45, 8 June 2006 (CEST)
----

HI Again,
HDAPS does work under windows. When I had windows running and then reboot the machine, hdaps is running under suse10.1 also. If I, however, turn off the machine and restart it, then, hdaps does *not* work anymore.
I remember that with suse 10.0 and the separate module, hdaps did work.
HDAPS now works with tp_smapi as suggested above.
Still, where does the problem derive from?

----

The hdaps in the vanilla kernel has some bugs (i.e., in doesn't talk to the hardware correctly) which tp_smapi fixes. Looks like you've hit one of these.

You're the 2nd one reporting this. The fact you can reproduce it on two machines may be very helpful! Are these machines configured identically? Do they run the same software? Can you send your kernel .config, and precise kernel version + patches, to the e-mail address in the tp_smapi README? Please specify which hdaps or tp_smapi -related applications you're typically running.

BTW, if you have [[swsusp]] or [[Software Suspend 2]] installed, you can do a suspend-to-disk cycle to recover from the hang.

I also have the follow
[[Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_DMA_on_DVD_drive]].
So I switched cdrom driver from IDE to ATA and it fixed the problem.
However HDAPS has stared to freez a machine if I shake it then HDD is active.
The issue might be not related to ACPI but I'll log it here for now.

I'll send configs. Thank you.

== hdaps and /sys ==

Hey Fellas,

I've just upgraded from 2.6.15.2, where the patches all dropped in ok and all was well, to 2.6.17.6, where hdaps is built into the kernel.
the hdapsd daemon referenced on thinkwiki looks in /sys/block/<drive>/queue/protect to get started.
The default drivers that come with 2.6.17.6 for hdaps apparently dont put anything in /queue there, so there is no 'protect' directory.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'd love to get my drive protection back :)
ON THE UPSIDE! - the Ricoh card reader in my z60m came to life, and I can read sd cards (but not sony memory sticks, oddly enough)
Any input would be awesome!
dan@itkinetix.com

You need an extra kernel patch for "protect". Please read the page more carefully.

You're the 2nd one reporting this. The fact you can reproduce it on two machines may be very helpful! Are these machines configured identically? Do they run the same software? Can you send your kernel .config, and precise kernel version + patches, to the e-mail address in the tp_smapi README? Please specify which hdaps or tp_smapi -related applications you're typically running.

BTW, if you have [[swsusp]] or [[Software Suspend 2]] installed, you can do a suspend-to-disk cycle to recover from the hang.

I also have the follow
[[Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_DMA_on_DVD_drive]].
So I switched cdrom driver from IDE to ATA and it fixed the problem.
However HDAPS has stared to freez a machine if I shake it then HDD is active.
The issue might be not related to ACPI but I'll log it here for now.

<br><b> UPDATE: the problem seems fixed in the version 0.21</b><br>

== hdaps and /sys ==

Hey Fellas,

I've just upgraded from 2.6.15.2, where the patches all dropped in ok and all was well, to 2.6.17.6, where hdaps is built into the kernel.
the hdapsd daemon referenced on thinkwiki looks in /sys/block/<drive>/queue/protect to get started.
The default drivers that come with 2.6.17.6 for hdaps apparently dont put anything in /queue there, so there is no 'protect' directory.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'd love to get my drive protection back :)
ON THE UPSIDE! - the Ricoh card reader in my z60m came to life, and I can read sd cards (but not sony memory sticks, oddly enough)
Any input would be awesome!

You need an extra kernel patch for "protect". Please read the page more carefully.

So, this is in the stable kernel now, but what userspace program do we need to actually park the heads?
--[[User:MrStaticVoid|MrStaticVoid]] 01:26, 30 Oct 2005 (CEST)
----
Yes the hdaps driver is in the 2.6.14 kernel, but support to park the heads quickly and freeze the disk queue (to prevent the heads from getting un-parked) is not. There is some disagreement into how that should be implemented.

In other words, the hdaps driver for the moment is rather useless, unless you want to use it to play games.

Yeah, it's a pretty good party trick - set up the HDAPS joystick as xmame input. You can play Ms. Pac-man by tilting your laptop to make pac-man navigate the maze. You can imagine that the pac-man "rolls" downhill, just like those old wooden marble-puzzles that you see around. Heh, can actually clear a level or two.

Marble madness was strangely unsatisfying though, and just didn't work well (probably due to the diagonal nature of the screen in that game).

Hi, I also have this problem that on my X40 the device/platform/hdaps/position does not give the right response. It is simply constant (128,1).
Does anyone have a clue? I use the suse kernel 2.6.16.13-4-default from suse10.1. the hdaps sources in that kernel are the same as in the original kernel.
thanks in advance,

Does the HDAPS sensor work under Windows (as observed from actual disk parking, or the graphical animation)?
Also, try loading [[tp_smapi]], it includes some patches for the hdaps driver. Does it help?

--[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 16:45, 8 June 2006 (CEST)

HI Again,
HDAPS does work under windows. When I had windows running and then reboot the machine, hdaps is running under suse10.1 also. If I, however, turn off the machine and restart it, then, hdaps does *not* work anymore.
I remember that with suse 10.0 and the separate module, hdaps did work.
HDAPS now works with tp_smapi as suggested above.
Still, where does the problem derive from?

----

The hdaps in the vanilla kernel has some bugs (i.e., in doesn't talk to the hardware correctly) which tp_smapi fixes. Looks like you've hit one of these.

== Building for Xorg 7.0==
To compile fglrx versions <= 8.24.8 for Xorg 7.0.0, fake Xorg 6.9.0 by
:{{cmdroot|1=export X_VERSION=x690; sh ati-driver-installer-8.24.8-x86.run}}
Next, move the various resulting libraries and modules from /usr/X11R6 to /usr/lib/xorg

In {{path|/usr/src/ATI}} additional sources are installed for fireglcontrol and fgl_glxgears

== Status ==
Current version: 8.25.18 (24th May 2006)

Major changes:
* 8.25.18: Xorg 7.0 support, FireGLâ„¢V5xxx/V7xxx support, Dynamic Display Management, fixed a lot of critical bugs.
* 8.24.8: support for X1300, X1400, X1600, X1800 (generic and mobility) and 3D accelerated video playback on Avivo
* 8.23.7: support for X850 and X800, OpenGL 2.0 Enhancement, FSAA for some chips
* 8.22.5: added kernel 2.6.15 support -- patch no longer required
* 8.21.7: initial OpenGL 2.0 support
* 8.20.8: fixed resume issues, fixed compile problems with kernels 2.6.13 and 2.6.14
* 8.19.10: has added suspend / resume and dynamic GPU power management support. Using vbetool no longer required.

== Known problems and solutions ==
See [[Problems with fglrx]].
== User experience ==
=== Speed ===
How much is the speed gain versus the opensource drivers?

Compared to the old drivers, approximately 40% speed gain have been noticed with fglrx. However, there are issues with freezing/garbage after suspend, garbage when resizing desktop (via {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|plus}}, {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|minus}}), and garbage while using VMware. The current 8.14.13 has shown 400% improvement over using the open source radeon driver: 1200 FPS for glxgears{{footnote|1}}!
However the situation seems to be changing today. With recent x11-drm-20060608 driver (gentoo) and thinkpad t42 (ati 9600) the speed is confirmed as 1900fps without any single crash so far.

{{NOTE|1=Video overlay acceleration may be disabled when 3D acceleration is enabled. The following comment from the xorg.conf file bundled with the fglrx driver indicates that:
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "1"
However, you can use either regular Xv video overlay or make the video an opengl texture and let the OpenGL engine scale your video. This has nothing to do with the acceleration of 2D drawing primitives. Further, your mileage on performance may vary depending on what card you have. The open source drivers don't support newer cards, while the ATI drivers don't support older cards.}}

=== Power saving ===
Power saving is much better than with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver, but doesn't work in dual-screen configuration (see [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]]).

=== Display Switching (Dynamic Display Management) ===

Version 8.25.18 introduces a new feature: Dynamic Display Management. It allows display switching on-the-fly.

To list all connected and enabled monitors:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --query-monitor}}

To switch displays:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --enable-monitor=STRING,STRING}}, where STRING can be: none, lvds, crt1, crt2, tv, tdms1, tdms2

Only 2 displays can be enabled at the same time. Any displays that are not on the list will be disabled.

{{footnotes|
#Note that glxgears isn't a benchmark tool, it's so simple that its FPS values is without any meaning... you can only compare glxgears using the same drivers/machine, if you change any of then you can have higher/lower values and in real life programs/games happen to have the opposite effects. Think in terms of a car engines rpms: higher rpms in the same car usually means a faster car, change anything and it's meaningless, ie: gears, truck, wheel size, etc. make it useless.

== Status ==
Current version: 8.25.18 (24th May 2006)

Major changes:
* 8.25.18: Xorg 7.0 support, FireGLâ„¢V5xxx/V7xxx support, Dynamic Display Management, fixed a lot of critical bugs.
* 8.24.8: support for X1300, X1400, X1600, X1800 (generic and mobility) and 3D accelerated video playback on Avivo
* 8.23.7: support for X850 and X800, OpenGL 2.0 Enhancement, FSAA for some chips
* 8.22.5: added kernel 2.6.15 support -- patch no longer required
* 8.21.7: initial OpenGL 2.0 support
* 8.20.8: fixed resume issues, fixed compile problems with kernels 2.6.13 and 2.6.14
* 8.19.10: has added suspend / resume and dynamic GPU power management support. Using vbetool no longer required.

== Known problems and solutions ==
See [[Problems with fglrx]].
== User experience ==
=== Speed ===
How much is the speed gain versus the opensource drivers?

Compared to the old drivers, approximately 40% speed gain have been noticed with fglrx. However, there are issues with freezing/garbage after suspend, garbage when resizing desktop (via {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|plus}}, {{key|ctrl}}{{key|alt}}{{key|minus}}), and garbage while using VMware. The current 8.14.13 has shown 400% improvement over using the open source radeon driver: 1200 FPS for glxgears{{footnote|1}}!
However the situation might changed today. This the recent x11-drm-20060608 driver (gentoo) and thinkpad t42 (ati 9600) the speed is confirmed as 1900fps without any single crash so far.

{{NOTE|1=Video overlay acceleration may be disabled when 3D acceleration is enabled. The following comment from the xorg.conf file bundled with the fglrx driver indicates that:
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "1"
However, you can use either regular Xv video overlay or make the video an opengl texture and let the OpenGL engine scale your video. This has nothing to do with the acceleration of 2D drawing primitives. Further, your mileage on performance may vary depending on what card you have. The open source drivers don't support newer cards, while the ATI drivers don't support older cards.}}

=== Power saving ===
Power saving is much better than with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver, but doesn't work in dual-screen configuration (see [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]]).

=== Display Switching (Dynamic Display Management) ===

Version 8.25.18 introduces a new feature: Dynamic Display Management. It allows display switching on-the-fly.

To list all connected and enabled monitors:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --query-monitor}}

To switch displays:
:{{cmdroot|1=aticonfig --enable-monitor=STRING,STRING}}, where STRING can be: none, lvds, crt1, crt2, tv, tdms1, tdms2

Only 2 displays can be enabled at the same time. Any displays that are not on the list will be disabled.

The current 8.14.13 has shown 400% improvement over using the open source radeon driver: 1200 FPS for glxgears{{footnote|1}}!
{{NOTE|1=Video overlay acceleration may be disabled when 3D acceleration is enabled. The following comment from the xorg.conf file bundled with the fglrx driver indicates that:
# === OpenGL Overlay ===
# Note: When OpenGL Overlay is enabled, Video Overlay
# will be disabled automatically
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "1"
However, you can use either regular Xv video overlay or make the video an opengl texture and let the OpenGL engine scale your video. This has nothing to do with the acceleration of 2D drawing primitives. Further, your mileage on performance may vary depending on what card you have. The open source drivers don't support newer cards, while the ATI drivers don't support older cards.}}

=== Power saving ===
Power saving is much better than with the <tt>radeon</tt> driver, but doesn't work in dual-screen configuration (see [[How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features]]).

{{footnotes|
#Note that glxgears isn't a benchmark tool, it's so simple that its FPS values is without any meaning... you can only compare glxgears using the same drivers/machine, if you change any of then you can have higher/lower values and in real life programs/games happen to have the opposite effects. Think in terms of a car engines rpms: higher rpms in the same car usually means a faster car, change anything and it's meaningless, ie: gears, truck, wheel size, etc. make it useless.
