Back to propiertary fgrlx driver, playing with some control:

pinux:~# aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 --effective=now
Setting the requested power state failed or is not supported yet.
Possible reasons for failure:
  - thermal control is in effect
  - trying to set the current power state again
Modes unsupported due to bandwidth limitations:
  - dual head/big desktop/clone modes
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.
pinux:~# exit
You have mail in /var/mail/carles
carles@pinux:~$ 

some experience with this "thermal control is in effect"? ¿?

carles@pinux:~$ aticonfig --lsp
    core/mem      [flags]
-----------------
  1: 128/135 MHz  [low voltage]
  2: 324/135 MHz
* 3: 392/324 MHz  [default state]
carles@pinux:~$
