ati - AMD graphics power management support in Trusty Tahr's kernel



I upgraded to 14.04 just today and since I'm now using kernel v3.13 and according to This link, I should now be having power management enabled by default




How can I confirm that ?



My machine: Dell Inspiron SE 7520



My GPU (Discrete\Independent graphics card): AMD Radeon HD 7730m



My APU (Graphics card integrated into the processor): Intel® Ivybridge Mobile



If using the open source drivers, the fact that power management (dpm) is enabled should be reflected by the existence of a file named




/sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_state 


(or the same with card0 or other number, whichever is your AMD card). I have more links and insights in my answer about AMD hybrid system overheating.
