Details

The script /etc/acpi/ati-powermode.sh does not reset 'high' power mode when opening laptop lid or inserting AC adapter. The reason is that on line 59, the call to /usr/bin/aticonfig --set-powerstate=3 is invalid. The value of --set-powerstate needs to be set to 2. I'm not sure if this is hardware-specific, but setting --set-powerstate to 3 throws the following error: "Error: Power state 3 out of range (1-2)." On an ATI Xpress 200M. Fixed version of the script is attached to this report.

Fascinating how ATI developers aren't familiar with their own tool's parameters :D

State 3 works for me and my ATI x1300. Looks like it is hardware specific.

aticonfig --list-powerstates
core/mem [flags]
-----------------
* 1: 128/135 MHz [low voltage]
2: 324/135 MHz
3: 419/351 MHz [default state]

Hey, can you both try the attached ati-powermode.sh? I've tried to patch it so it's more generic in function.

Anyone try out the attached fix? I'd like to have some definitive answer before I check it in.

Sorry, have been pretty busy. I don't use atieventsd but tested your script.

sh test.sh
Lid Open
On AC
high power
Password:
Error: Option value '' for option 'set-powerstate' is invalid.
/usr/bin/aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

aticonfig --lsp | tail -1 | cut -d":" -f 1 | sed "s/* //g" has to cut two more spaces before the powerstate value (3 in my case)

How about this one?

Nope, still the same.

aticonfig --lsp | grep ":" | tail -1 | cut -d':' -f 1 | sed "s/\* *//g" delivers " 3"

D'oh! My brain got crossed, this one should give us the right thing... I hope. XD
