ATI Powerplay problemer.

[Marbash]

Jeg har et problem med at maskinen min blir varm, men fant ut forrige gang jeg hadde Ubuntu installert at jeg kunne "klokke ned" skjermkortet mitt, slik at det ikke sto i "Performance mode". Nå får jeg det ikke til. Noen som kan hjelpe meg?

raymond@raymond-laptop:~$ aticonfig

Usage: aticonfig [OPTION] ...

Parses an existing X-Server configuration file and modifies it to operate with

ATI products.

 

The following command-line options can be invoked as parameters:

 

ATI Initial Configuration:

--initial

Generate a default ATI device section in the configuration file which

is capable of loading the fglrx driver.

--initial=dual-head

Same as '--initial' but generate a basic dual head configuration file.

--initial=check

Identifies if the fglrx driver is present in configuration file.

 

TV Options:

--tvf, --tv-format-type=STRING

Change the TV signal format. STRING can be one of:

NTSC-M

NTSC-JPN

NTSC-N

PAL-B

PAL-COMB-N

PAL-D

PAL-G

PAL-H

PAL-I

PAL-K

PAL-K1

PAL-L

PAL-M

PAL-N

PAL-SECAM-D

PAL-SECAM-K

PAL-SECAM-K1

PAL-SECAM-L

Note: Not all graphics cards support every mode. Regional

settings are applicable.

--tvs, --tv-standard-type=STRING

Change the TV standard for TV output. STRING can be one of:

VIDEO

SCART

YUV

--tv-overscan={on|off}

Enable or disable overscan mode for TVout

Note, not all tv-formats support overscan. Try to

toggle overscan off before changing tv-format if

and error occurs.

--tv-info

Print out the current tv geometry, tv format, and if the

tv is physically connected.

--tv-geometry=WIDTHxHEIGHT{+|-}X{+|-}Y

=WIDTHxHEIGHT

Change the size and position of the TVout display.

WIDTH and HEIGHT are in percentage units. Please note

that the valid range for WIDTH and HEIGHT depends on

the tv-format selected. However, as a rule of thumb

WIDTH and HEIGHT are valid in the range [1,100]

X and Y are pixels offsets from centre

of the screen. X and Y are have variable ranges dependant

on ASIC. Use tv-info to get valid X and Y ranges

If tv-geometry is invoked with just width and height

then X and Y are assumed to be 0

See example 5 below for a sample usage.

Selects which adapters returned by --list-adapters should

be affected by other aticonfig options. ADAPTERLIST contains

either a comma-seperated sequence of the index numbers of the

select all the adapters. If --adapter is missing, only the

default adapter will be affected.

can be chained together for CrossFire.

--lsch, --list-crossfire-chains

Lists the CrossFire chains that are currently defined along with their

enabled state

--cfa, --add-crossfire-chain

Defines a new CrossFire chain. --adapter should contain the adapter

chain definition, with the master adapter being the first entry and

the slave adapters being the subsequent entries in order of priority.

master adapters of the chains to be deleted. --adapter=all will delete

all chain definitions.

--cf, --crossfire={on|off}

chains. --adapter should list the master adapters to be enabled or

disabled.

 

ATI Overdrive options:

The following options are used to get and set current and peak, core

and memory clock information as well as read the current temperature of

adapters. By using the "--adapter=" argument the ATI Overdrive

options can be targeted to a particular adapter in a multi-adapter scenario.

If no adapter is explicitly targeted the commands will be run on the Default

adapter as indicated by the "--list-adapters" command

--od-enable

Unlocks the ability to change core or memory clock values by

acknowledging that you have read and understood the ATI Overdrive

disclaimer and accept responsibility for and recognize the potential

dangers posed to your hardware by changing the default core or memory

clocks

--od-disable

Disables ATI Overdrive set related aticonfig options. Previously

commited core and memory clock values will remain, but will not be set

on X Server restart.

--odgc, --od-getclocks

Lists various information regarding current core and memory clock

settings.

Including: current and peak clocks

the theoretical range clocks can be set to

the current load on the GPU

--odsc, --od-setclocks={NewCoreClock|0,NewMemoryClock|0}

Sets the core and memory clock to the values specified in MHz

The new clock values must be within the theoretical ranges provided

by --od-getclocks. If a 0 is passed as either the NewCoreClock or

NewMemoryClock it will retain the previous value and not be changed.

There is no guarantee that the attempted clock values will succeed

even if they lay inside the theoretical range. These newly set

clock values will revert to the default values if they are not

committed using the "--od-commitclocks" command before X is

restarted

--odrd, --od-restoredefaultclocks

Sets the core and memory clock to the default values.

Warning X needs to be restarted before these clock changes will take

effect

--odcc, --od-commitclocks

Once the stability of a new set of custom clocks has been proven this

command will ensure that the Adapter will attempt to run at these new

values whenever X is restarted

--odgt, --od-gettemperature

Returns the temperature reported by any thermal sensors available on

the adapter.

 

Miscellaneous Options:

-v, --verbose

Show what aticonfig is doing.

-q, --quiet

Disable all information output except for errors.

--effective={now,startup}

Choose when the requested changes should take effect.

now: Immediately. This change will affect the running X

session if applicable. Only 'set-powerstate' and

'overlay-on' are applicable for now.

startup: On future X server startups. This change will modify the

X server configuration file if applicable.

The default is 'now,startup', i.e., do both as applicable.

--nobackup

Do not make an automatic backup of the configuration file.

-i, --input=FILE

Select a FILE to input as the configuration file. Set FILE to '-' to

pipe from standard input. Without this option, aticonfig will search

/etc/X11 for the default configuration file.

-o, --output=FILE

Select a FILE to output the new configuration file to. Set FILE to '-'

to print to standard output. Without this option, aticonfig will

replace the input file with the newly generated file.

-h, --help

Display this help screen.

-f, --force

Only valid with 'initial' option. Force aticonfig to generate default

Monitor, Device, and Screen sections even if the original configuration

file has invalid settings in these sections.

 

Examples:

1. Setting up fglrx for the first time.

Single head : aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Dual head : aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=above

This command will generate a dual head configuration

file with the second screen located above the first

screen.

2. Setting up big desktop to horizontal and set overlay on secondary display.

aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1

3. Setting up modes for primary display.

aticonfig --resolution=0,1600x1200,1280x1024,1024x768

4. Force primary CRT on and TV-out off.

aticonfig --force-monitor=crt1,notv

5. Change tv geometry

aticonfig --tv-geometry=85x90+10-10

This will set tv to 85% width (where 100% ==

overscan) 90% height and shift 10 pixels right of centre

and 10 pixels down of centre.

6. Multiple display adapters.

List adapters : aticonfig --list-adapters

Init 0 and 2 : aticonfig --adapter=0,2 --initial

Init all : aticonfig --adapter=all --initial

7. ATI Overdrive .

List adapters : aticonfig --list-adapters

Get Clocks of 0 : aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-getclocks

Set new Clocks for 0 : aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-setclocks=770,1126

Test out 3D : atiode -P60 -H localhost:0; echo $?

Check Temperature of 0 : aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature

Commit changes for 0 : aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-commitclocks

 

***note***

atiode is a stress application you start with a required

parameter -P which specifies the test duration and the optional

-H parameter to target a specific display to use. For example

atiode -P 600 -H localhost:0 would test display 0 for 10 minutes

the return code from the application is the test result

0: Test successfully completed.

1: Invalid command-line parameters.

2: Test failed because of rendering errors.

3: Target adapter not found.

4: Test aborted due to unknown reason

På forrhånd takk.

Du trenger superbrukerrettigheter hvis du skal skrive over /etc/X11/xorg.conf, slik aticonfig --initial forsøker å gjøre. Stapp sudo forran hvis det er det du vil.
