Hi all,
I've just checked the power usage of f10 + fglrx and
f12/rawhide using xorg-x11-drv-ati and kernel 2.6.31.5-107.
With xorg-x11-drv-ati the system uses 30 watts more than f10 + fglrx
(100 vs. 130 watts). I'm using a RV670PRO [Radeon HD 3850]. See

for details.
Is this expected?
I believe so, radeon does not have much power management support yet
