I'm having this problem in Lucid. In Karmic using fglrx, my laptop normally runs at a rate of around 18W giving much more efficint battery usage. In Lucid with the included driver my laptop runs hotter, the fan runs continuously and at around 25W even with the brightness turned down. This is nearly a 50% increase in power usage by using the free driver.
I have compiz active in Karmic and Lucid.
