Would it be possible to have two settings for now..

1. Low power mode
2. High power mode

And have them settable via an xorg.conf file option

And then as the driver gets better add a dynamic option where the video
chip runs in a low power mode by default and then if the command queue
gets to deep (some depth value) the core is run in high power mode until
the queue gets shallow again?

On my laptop, when I am on battery I would prefer to be always in low
power mode.
