I'm running Lucid, 2.6.34+drm-next on laptop with HD3650 Mobility. I tried to load system with all possible combinations of modeset and dynpm options, but after 20-40 minutes of idle the system getting unexplainable hot. Here is my current situation: http://pastebin.com/UpNWr70i Any help please, i don't know where to post this on Phoronix :-) Hey sque, thanks for this post, it’s really helpful, but can you please tell how to fix that damn overheating?

Also I would like to forward some news: -------------------------------------------------------- You may have noticed that with firefox in somepages scrolling up/down may be REALLY slow! This is because it uses the XGetImage function of 2D EXA API which was not accelerated until now in <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2010-March/049620.html" rel="nofollow">6.13.0rc2 </a> version. We will have to wait one or two days until xorg-edgers-ppa pulls the latest version. Check for updates in update manager, install them and logout/login. I am so glad that it worked :D

With the proprietary fglrx drivers I had the following problems: Slow resizing with Compiz (backclear/backfill bug) Crazy memory leaks Standy/resume swap everything to disk or just black screen ALL of these problems are now GONE! Man I love open source. This worked like a charm, thanks!

No you don't need to update your Xorg but you need latest xorg driver radeon <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-announce/2010-March/001265.html" rel="nofollow">6.12.191</a> and this implies that you have installed latest unreleased mesa (7.8) dri stack. I am not experienced in debian releases, but if you are, then you can look around for these packages. :) Compiz plays perfectly, and the 2D enviroment is ultra stable (no crash here). DRI2 gives you proper support of video and 3d when running compiz, no more lags, or video in overlay mode when running compiz. OpenGL support misses some extensions of OpenGL 2.1 so it is classified as 2.0 and some games dont play at all and others may have artifacts. 3D (in game) performance is not the best that your card can do but in future versions it will be fixed. I personally wanted a compiz-enabled 2D enviroment that can support properly dual-screens, and for me it is one step (I have a small issue with fan speed sometimes) behind perfection. @Manuel,
