I've always checked through SSH from a second machine.

Now for your glxgears test: reclocking works (in Portal 2 as well, where I get
58-60 FPS now). The only difference is the radeon.dpm=1 on the kernel command
line. Was that expected? I thought DPM was activated automatically with your
3.17 branch (it says so during boot as well, see e.g. attachment 103996) or at
least I interpreted the "[drm] radeon: dpm initialized" line that way.

As far as I'm concerned this can be closed, though the radeon man page should
probably get a line like "setting radeon.dpm=1 is mandatory for reclocking on
the following ASICs". I let you decide whether this is something that should
have happend automatically (my preference) or that requires the kernel
parameter and close/keep the report accordingly.
