It should turn off the backlight eventually, but some time after the screen has been blanked. Does this happen?

If this does not happen, please run this to see if the graphic driver is capable enough:
 xset dpms force off; sleep 7; xset dpms force on
This should turn off the screen (power saving) for 7 seconds, then turn it on again.
Please also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Turning off the backlight immediately may not fit all users and hardware.
