Not sure, but I think the syntax error there means you're missing the xorg-dev package (header files etc..).

But now `configure` blows up:
./configure: line 11942: syntax error near unexpected token `XINERAMA,'
./configure: line 11942: `XORG_DRIVER_CHECK_EXT(XINERAMA, xineramaproto)'
syntax error? C'mon guys how can this code even be checked in?

Can't build the driver though:
./autogen.sh
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf: running: aclocal
autoreconf: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Libtool
autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
configure.ac:46: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:47: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I'm just saying that a *lot* of work went into the fglrx power management, and that even matching that with the open source drivers is going to take an equal amount of work, it's not something they can just "keep".
If the radeon man page doesn't mention the power saving options, then either your radeon driver is too old (the options were added in April 2009) or your man page has somehow become out of sync with the driver. Can you check the version/age of your radeon driver ?

User modesetting is fine. Do you have Option "ForceLowPowerMode" "on" and Option "DynamicPM" "on" ? If not, add them to the device section of your xorg.conf.
Running "man radeon" will give you more info about the options.
The Radeon man page has absolutely nothing about the options you mention. In fact the man page was one of the first places I looked to resolve the speed/temp problem.
I've just about had it with ATI. The driver nonsense just never ends. Two GTX 260s in SLI is starting to look pretty good.
