I read two articles :-

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Fglrx

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_make_use_of_Graphics_Chips_Power_Management_features

I do know that recent kernels have KMS built-in

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_ati_kms&num=1

But what is not known to me is do they use the features that were
outlined about a year back on the wiki ?

It would be nice to know what you guys think of all this ?
