some config files and logs
Can you try with KMS? It might be possible audio chip picks up some interference. In particular unconnected mic inputs are often subject to this, so try muting audio to see if the sound comes from there. Otherwise I'm not sure where the sound could come from - what you describe doesn't look like it could be "coil whine" (I don't think that would happen with these low power mobile chips anyway). (In reply to comment #2) > Can you try with KMS? > I don't know what is kms.....neither how to do to try with......I'm going to see around but if you can tell me exactly what to do, it would be nice. Anyway thank for your help (In reply to comment #3) > It might be possible audio chip picks up some interference.

What is "coil whine" ? thank for your help I noticed that when manually playing with registers some day. However it was newer RV620 and happened on scrolling page in browser. Do you use reduced backlight? Can you check if backlight level affects noise? (In reply to comment #6) > I noticed that when manually playing with registers some day.

But changing backlight level don't change noise at all.... cordialement, Bonjour, Today, I've inspected more accurately the computer and removed the hdd plastic cover. Now, I'm sure, the noise doesn't come from the hdd. It seems that it come from the video card itself : I hear clearly that noise come from a part where there is an aperture to let air come in and I suspect this place to be the videocard one. A video card that make a sound (tic tic tic tic) like heads of a hdd, it's quite strange, isn't it ? Well, if someone has an idea to get the noise go away. Strangely, the noise doesn't appear with the vesa driver or with the non-free ati one....... cordialement, It could be that the sound hw is picking up interference from the pixel clock driving the LVDS. KMS has spread spectrum support for LVDS that might help. See this page for more info on trying KMS: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonBuildHowTo Bonjour, Humm.... I wonder, because speakers are off and noise doesn't come from them anyway. There is only two speakers on the top of the computer (harman-kardon) and they don't make any noise. I've looked at KMS with the link you provided, but it seems rather hard to get it work ; a lot of things to do, and I'm not very good for that.... Thank you anyway (In reply to comment #9) > It could be that the sound hw is picking up interference from the pixel clock > driving the LVDS.

(but so long compiz and good morning for slow window redraws) So, after finding that solution, I've tried XAA accel instead of EXA but with noise again. It's strange because this card is supposed to accept acceleration.... Is it possible to accel a little bit less the hardware to avoid noise ? perhaps is it a silly question.... With this new result, does someone has a better idea ? Thank for your past (and future) help Anyway, I'm glad to have obtained this result, even if I want more ! cordialement, Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid.
