Don't understand why "default" state don't lowers CPU speed.

Default state uses whatever clocks/voltages are set as default in the video BIOS.

On most cards the default VBIOS settings are "full speed and max voltage".

Why Radeon don't have "auto" profile that varies GPU speed? Or it has?

It has an "auto" profile that switches between "med" and "high" depending on whether or not you are on battery.

What I think you are looking for is "dynpm" (an alternative to profiles) but that only works on some systems right now. Alex has identified the next round of work it requires (basically reorganizing the existing code so that engine and memory clocks are set on different vblank intervals) but it hasn't been a top priority for any of the devs so far.

I don't understand why nobody did it: a lot of hard work had been spent to develop power management and everybody gave up when it remained only the last step to provide working power management out of the box

Hasn't it been removed with the last patches?

It's not the last step, it's the *next* step. Big difference.

Restructuring the code just fixes the *known* problem, allows some more systems to work, and makes it possible to find the *next* problem.

Got multiple, continuous softreset on nexuiz and neverball games.
