Public bug reported: When a laptop uses battery power, he should choose one of the lower aticonfig power states (if you are using the fglrx video card driver). For the moment the GPU is still using 100% of it's strength (I have to manually choose another power state). This should be integrated in gnome-power-manager (or laptop-mode-tools?) and happen automatically I guess? By using a lower fglrx power state, a laptop uses 15% less energy.
