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
Thanks, I tried that before as well. Besides the screen is turning off, however
just for a few seconds. My guess is that probably gnome or some other
apps is turning the screen back on.
So, it seems that only I have this kind of problem :(

No, I have this problem, too. When I use 'xset dpms force off' for the
first few times, it works (screen stays off). After that, it always
turns back on.
It also didn't go away when I switched from XFCE to GNOME.
The problem has been there since I bought my notebook 1.5 years ago. I
just live with it.
