Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Ubuntu/edgy:

Xorg 7.1 has a known bug, which happens when the screen has gone to off state because of power saving features of X.org.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5665

Then, if any ACPI event, such as unplugging the power cord, or battery status update, comes, the backlight will turn back on.

This will burn the displays of people and consume a lot of energy.

Please backport 7.2 to Ubuntu edgy when it comes available.

I'm using Feisty. This bug seem to be fixed only partially. After booting a hibernated system the screen still reacts to ACPI events and the backlight turns back on.
