On my RV635 things are really great, still not a single crash, DPM working without any issues. Running 24/7 for weeks.
Try mesa 10.1 or 10.2 I thought that is the whole point of using open drivers on Radeon - to use the superior 10.1+ drivers over Catalyst and feature-, performance, and powersaving- gutted Mesa 9.2
I did, had to go back to 9.2 though, there were some strange artifacts (textures were sometimes bizarre) on few games and in xbmc , not on desktop. However, dpm was still working fine and that's the point of this topic I think :) Performance and mesa features will come in time I guess. Main thing for me is dpm, powersaving. I mean, beside debian wheezy I can't even use catalyst, it's possible with a painful downgrading of xorg but I don't like that. With open drivers I can now use any distro without overheating. Yeah, opengl sucks (mesa) at the moment but things might change soon.
