** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
- 
  $ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
  low
+ 
+ When I use the opensource driver for my ATI card the notebook fan is
+ always spinning and temperature of outgoing air from fan is very high,
+ even when I set /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile to low and cpu
+ mode to powersave. With proprietary drivers (fglrx) I set video card
+ performance to "ondemand" (I forgot the exact name of this mode in ATI
+ control center) and cpu mode to ondemand, and the notebook isn't hot,
+ fans are not spinning (if I don't start flash, games or some similar app
+ with high cpu load). So with fglrx I can use the notebook on battery for
+ 1.5 - 2 hours and it's not hot, but with the opensource driver notebook
+ on battery is dead in 50 minutes, the fan is always on, it noise is
+ loud, and the notebook is very hot.
