Gtk+ Front end for ATI power settings

[Almindor]

I've made a primitive little program (with tray icon) which gets/sets the power level on ATI cards (via "aticonfig" program). FGLRX is of course required.

NOTE: I never tested anywhere else but on my ATI/AMD Mobility Radeon X1600! Use at your own risk.

Since however it's just a front-end, aticonfig shouldn't allow anything stupid I guess. It's using the --lsp and --set-powerstate=X [1..3] arguments, nothing else.

The program is licensed under GPLv3.

Get the source (autotools) here: http://members.chello.sk/ales/gap-1.0.tar.gz

Feedback is welcome, if it picks up I might do some additional options, but I always felt the need to switch power levels on my laptop when on battery for example.

If something like this already exists let me know! :)

Great tool. Very useful. I'm creating a PKGBUILD for Archlinux to be uploaded to AUR.

UPDATE: uploaded to AUR

I always wondered why the fglrx guys never included a Powerplay frontend; a section in CCCLE would be nice. A GTK frontend for the whole CCCLE package would be nice as well.
Anyways, I will test this on my 200M and see who it goes.
