Your suggestion does not work. If I turn off the screen saver, then I
go to power manager, and set monitor to sleep after 1 minute, I will
just be looking at my desktop, and nothing will happen.
Strange is the fact that occasionally it works perfectly, and sometimes
it fails completely.

As it turns out, Ubuntu has a strange way of defining idleness.
Everyone else uses human input (mouse, keyboard, etc). Ubuntu is using
cpu as well, and there is no way to unselect that part of it. So if
I used to have this problem, but it is solved.
Check to that see that your screensaver is OFF. The screensaver, even
if you tell it to display a blank screen, will turn on the backlight.
Silly, yes, but it is what it is. So if you have an LCD, turn the
screensaver off.

Could you please send the output of gnome-power-bugreport.sh as detailed
here:

I'm betting that GPM is not detecting that you have a LCD screen. This
is done by looking at HAL and thusly would be a HAL bug if that is the
case.
Thanks for
