Full range of power levels on GPU? (Radeon Mobility X1400, I think)

As per wiki article, power levels can be set to a range of mid to high, or to low, but not a range of low to high. Auto is documented as never going low, and dynpm simply doesn't. I can't seem to find a way to seamlessly utilize the low clock/voltages based on load, which means my notebook either handles video kind of poorly, or runs awfully toasty, and will chew up more battery than it needs to when not plugged in. Effectively, what I'm looking for the video equivalent to the conservative CPU governor.

Is there a way to effectively get single-head power saving to work as it aught to, where an idle GUI properly runs at at a low power state, but ramps up when needed, without temporarily freezing the display (as occurs when changing power profiles or methods)?
