Public bug reported: [Impact]
On some systems using the OLED panel, AMD found that the default light mode results in higher power consumption compared to other operating systems that default to dark mode. This reduces power efficiency and may impact battery life on affected devices. [Fix] https://lore.kernel.org/dri- devel/[email protected]/ [Test Case] 1) Ensure the system is using the default light mode theme with OLED panel connected 2) Run standard workload for power measurements (e.g., video playback, web browsing, idle with desktop visible). 3) Record total system power consumption. 4) Switch to dark mode and perform the same workloads 5) Compare power consumption results [Where problems could occur] Devices connected to OLED panels with light mode, run a workload to trigger power loading. [Other Info] AMD suggests adopting dark mode in some way when an OLED panel is present. The patches is available to detect OLED panels programmatically, which can be used to implement conditional behavior or user messaging. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: originate-from-2137732 ** Tags added: originate-from-2137732 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2143203 Title: Adopting dark mode by default for OLED panel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2143203/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
