R60 Advanced mini dock + ati powerplay

[ase]

I've got an R60 (946272U) with an ATI Mobility Radeon x1400.

The issue I've been having is any time I put it into my advanced mini dock. The Powerplay setting in CCC always switches to "Active Setting: Optimal Performance" and will not change. Once, I undock without changing anything, on battery it switches and plugging in the ac adapter it switches no problem.

I've done all the updates. I know it may sound a little silly. I'd like to have the option to use a little bit less power and reduce heat when I don't need the extra performance.

Any insight would be nice, thanks.
