Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I think this is different to bug 71368:
I have a thinkpad X61s running Karmic. If I run 'xset dpms force off' then the screen turns off properly. However, if I set in the power preferences that the screen should turn off after 5m, then it goes black but never shuts down the backlight.

I turns out that if I do 'dpms force off' then after a few minutes the backlight wakes up again.
I think this is a recent regression in karmic, or maybe I just haven't noticed...
