Thanks. At least I know that this is not something wrong with my configuration. As I mention before this is a small problem and of course I can live with it too, but this is not a point. I often leave my notebook for a few hours to compile some programs and simply it would be nice if the screen stays off during that time. Moreover, if the lid is closed I expect that the screen stays off as well. Fortunately, at least I have the simple solution with switching to the console ... Marcin
