--- Comment #28 from madbiologist <s.j.turner at uqconnect.net> ---
Better power management for AMD/ATI Radeon R600 and newer hardware is finally
available in the upstream 3.11 linux kernel. 

For people using Ubuntu, the first release candidate (3.11-rc1) of the 3.11
kernel is available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and
instructions on how to install and uninstall it are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

Fedora users can get the 3.11-rc1 kernel from Rawhide at
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/development/
For more information about using Rawhide, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide?rd=Rawhide

Users of other Linux distributions will need to obtain the 3.11 kernel by other
means.

For now, to use this power management for the AMD/ATI Radeon you will need to
select it at boot by adding radeon.dpm=1 to your GRUB kernel boot options as
described at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Troubleshooting#Editing_the_GRUB_2_Menu_During_Boot
