  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-radeon
  
  By using powertop and reading the radeon/feature page on x.org I managed to reduce the power consumption when on batery by about 4W on my laptop (from about 22W to 18W). I just followed the recommendations on:
  http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature
  and did:
  $ sudo -c sh 'echo "auto" >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile'
  
- This solution, if it doesn't trigger problems for anyone, should be made
- either the default or easily configurable through some file in /etc.
