I have the problem with quantal too Toshiba L300D.
On suggestion I have from the internet was to run a
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
on every start.
For me this does the trick !
I tried to compare powertop before and after but couldn't find a decrease in power-consumption (just below 30W) as expected, but the temperature according to sensors is definitly down.
