So gnome-screensaver uses HAL now instead of thinkpad-acpi.

That in turn, calls for 0x02:screenlock. In thinkpad-acpi, this was blank screen.

...I just tried Debian "Lenny" 5.0.1 CD 1 install (Gnome desktop), and it does the same thing, as we have experienced.

Is it possible to tie the function key combination with something like:
=> xset dpms force off?

How does the lid button turn off the backlight?
