Bug Description
"vbetools dpms off" works as it should and turns the screen off whereas "xset dpms off" blanks it with the backlight on...
to make things more confusing xscreensaver makes the screen completely white when blanking (if you choose blank as screensaver and then lock screen)
my laptop is an acer aspire 1644 with i810 video. happy to be of more assistance.
thanks

Can you check that your /etc/X11/xorg.conf references i810 rather than VESA?
