Radeontop doesn't work on hybrid Laptop #14

Closed BlackLotus closed 10 years ago

BlackLotus commented 10 years ago

lspci shows

01:00.0 Display controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Mars [Radeon HD 8670A/8670M/8750M](rev ff)

In /dev/dri/ are 2 cards

[root@HackBox ~]# ls /dev/dri/ card0 card1 controlD64 controlD65

But radeontop says:

[root@HackBox ~]# radeontop Can't find Radeon cards

Tried playing with the parameters, didn't read the code (yet).

clbr commented 10 years ago

is it an intel/amd or amd/amd laptop?
if intel, is the amd card on?
please include the PCI id of the card (lspci -nn)

BlackLotus commented 10 years ago

Sorry for the lack of information. It's Intel/AMD and the AMD card is auto on (I mean dynamic).I use it through prime_DRI. I post the lspci output as soon as I get back home.

If no application is using the Radeon GPU the driver turns the hardware off (you can see this via power_dpm_state). Start an application (glxgears suffices), then start radeontop.

Arg my fault I made the same typo I made in my comment while testing this (used PRIME_DRI instead of DRI_PRIME). Thanks
