Well, I've just upgraded my laptop. The old one has ati
radeon r250 graphics card. On this card I can easily turn
off the screen using nice program "radeantool" of course
"xset dpms force off" worked as well. And "turn off" was
permanent. It is worth to mention that I was using
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati opensource drivers... On the
other hand, the new laptop has nvidia (quadro 135) aboard
and now I'm using x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-177.82.
Everything works fine except one tiny problem now if I turn
off the screen and backlight after a few seconds the
backlight is back on!
Try following:
sleep 1 && xset dpms force off

Given you're using nvidia, if you just use the nvidia settings app,
the graphical one, you can just disable the screen. But, that one's
actually perminant, as in removing that screen from xorg.conf
