it does suspend, I think. > but the display backlight stays on.

For me the various xset dpms don't turn off the backlight, just the LCD goes dark. And setterm doesn't work either, % sudo setterm -powersave powerdown cannot (un)set powersave mode > Is this a lost cause, or has anybody ever encountered and resolved > this issue?
