I found that the value low in
/sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method is helping to decrease the
temperature.
Is this the only value to try to reach the temperature performance of
the fglrx driver?
Moreover I found that if the temperature is increasing over 60° the
battery is no more charging, so you may understand that it's a
problem.
