I'm having this problem in Lucid.  In Karmic using fglrx, my laptop
normally runs at a rate of around 18W giving much more efficint battery
usage.  In Lucid with the included driver my laptop runs hotter, the fan
runs continuously and at around 25W even with the brightness turned
down.  This is nearly a 50% increase in power usage by using the free
driver.

I have compiz active in Karmic and Lucid.
