I've made a primitive little program (with tray icon) which gets/sets the power level on ATI cards (via "aticonfig" program). FGLRX is of course required.
NOTE: I never tested anywhere else but on my ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon X1600! Use at your own risk.
Since however it's just a front-end, aticonfig shouldn't allow anything stupid I guess. It's using the --lsp and --set-powerstate=X [1..3] arguments, nothing else.
The program is licensed under GPLv3.
Get the source (autotools) here: http://members.chello.sk/ales/gap-1.0.tar.gz
Feedback is welcome, if it picks up I might do some additional options, but I always felt the need to switch power levels on my laptop when on battery for example.
If something like this already exists let me know!
