SUMMARY
Mario Limonciello has merged his patch for power-profiles-daemon to allow
enabling or disabling power actions, and added AMD GPU actions that are
disabled by default. This change will be part of the 0.24 release once it comes
out.
Two links into the MR that seem relevant to us:
-
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/merge_requests/210/diffs#note_2768758
-
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/merge_requests/210/diffs#8ec9a00bfd09b3190ac6b22251dbb1aa95a0579d_58_58
Specifically, he mentions that he expects desktop environments to expose the
actions "amdgpu_dpm" ("Adjust GPU dynamic power management") and
"amdgpu_panel_power" ("Panel Power Savings (may affect color quality)") to
users. Those make for a bad default experience, but could be right for an
informed user who prefers battery life over fidelity.
We already have a "Prefer efficiency" vs. "Prefer color accuracy" setting in
the Display Configuration KCM, I don't know how that would interact with these
new settings.
Filing as bug for awareness at least until the KWin team determines what to do
(or what not to do) about it.
