This happens the same here on an Imac G4 800Mhz / 256Mib / 17' LCD / nVIDIA GeForce 4MX. "xset dpms force off" make the screen go blank but not power off. System is an up-to-date feisty (with GNOME), but it comes from a dapper, upgraded to edgy, then to feisty. Under Dapper, i manually tuned xorg.conf to add 1440x900 mode, but this is the only system modification I can remember I done on this machine. dmesg, xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log can be found at http://deep-ocean.net/files/imac/
