Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg-driver-fglrx
i know ubuntu is not to blame here, but i wanted this bug to be filled at least somwhere..
POWERPLAY features don't work on a macbook pro c2d
with kernel 2.6.20 2.6.21 and 2.6.22
fglrx version 8.39.4
so the macbook pro gets very hot and the fans keep spinnig almost every time because the ati card runs at highest state in every use situtation
also power consumption is very high
sudo aticonfig --set-powerstate=1
Error: Unable to obtain POWERplay information.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.
