32 I'm trying to reproduce the bug using radeon and DRM stuff built as a
33 module instead. Did you enabled power management too with the following:
34 # echo '(low|mid|high)' > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
35
36 For me, as soon as I enable this, the system hangs randomly (meaning
37 it can hangs right after enabling the feature or several hours later).
