Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-screensaver (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: Medium
Status: Confirmed
Description:
The screen blanks, but the backlight never turns off. 'Option "DPMS"' is set in
xorg.conf. In Hoary, "xset dpms force off" also blanks the screen, but the
backlight still remains on. For some reason, this same command does not work in
Breezy, even though the xset package is loaded. "vbetools dpms off" does succeed
in turning the backlight off.
