For me, the problem has always existed. But before, I used the PBButtonsd daemon (http://pbbuttons.berlios.de/). This daemon switched off the backlight putting the level brightness to zero.
But I think the radeon driver should switch off the backlight alone without an other daemon because all "power manager" programs (like gnome-power-manager) use the DPMS features to control the switch on/off display.

Yes, I agree with you. I also read about this on internet but I can't find the article again.

How can I help you to find a solution ?
