After running 'xset dpms force off' with lid closed on a laptop to disable the backlight, moving the mouse or touching the keyboard will cause the backlight to turn back on. The backlight should never turn on under any circumstances when the lid is closed, unless maybe in the case that the user runs 'xset dpms force on' explicitly.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 41994] Re: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off
Ah, sorry, done a little more testing. It stays off indefinitely (without input) if the lid is open. But, if I run it after closing the lid, it still wakes randomly. This means that it must be receiving some imaginary input when the lid is closed to wake it. My biggest problem is that some imaginary input wakes the laptop. Ignoring all input while the lid is closed would solve the problem. However, without a mouse connected I can't provide any input with the lid closed anyway, so this doesn't bother me as much as not waking on imaginary inputs. I remember trying to debug this before, and the input is non-existent. The screen wakes because the X server is no longer idle, but using xev reports no input being received. It is interesting that this only happens when the lid is closed. Perhaps this bug should be split into two parts. Firstly, a bug, that imaginary input is received randomly when the lid is closed. Secondly, a wishlist, that the screen should not wake on input while the lid is closed. Fixing either of these would satisfy me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to x11-xserver-utils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41994 Title: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off Status in The Dell Project: Invalid Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Xfce4 Power Manager: New Status in X.Org X server: Unknown Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “x11-xserver-utils” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Currently, on Dapper Beta 1, closing the laptop lid causes the backlight to shut off.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 41994] Re: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off
I have noticed this problem also, since I got my laptop back on Ubuntu 10.10, and it is still a problem on 11.10. The only difference is I am not giving it any input, it wakes up on it's own. I remember back in 10.10, with a friend, we tried to debug the problem. We first looked at some logs, whenever the screen turned back on, there was a message something like, X no longer idle. The only reason my friend could think of, for the X server to not be idle is that it received some input. So, we ran the program which shows any input received (might have been xev?), and tested again, but this showed that the system was not receiving any input. So, we were unable to work out why X is would stop being idle (and turn the screen back on). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41994 Title: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off Status in The Dell Project: Invalid Status in Xfce4 Power Manager: New Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Currently, on Dapper Beta 1, closing the laptop lid causes the backlight to shut off.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 41994] Re: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off
I can't believe this is another 5+ year old bug that is still unresolved. I am experiencing this issue on Ubuntu/Xubuntu 11.04. The problem is that somehow dpms calls are being made to turn the backlight back on when a mouse event occurs, even though the lid is still shut. I ran into some difficulty because the Ubuntu acpi-support scripts don't run if they detect a desktop (gnome/kde/xfce/etc) power-manager app running. It's a pain to have to kill those, because I lose all GUI-based power management (battery indicator, etc.) on my laptop. However, I got so fed up with this issue that I felt it was worth it to block the power-manager app so that acpid could run the show. In the end, the best solution I could find was to run lid.sh on a 1-minute recurring cron job. This forces the backlight off when the lid is closed and on when it's open. Not a very elegant solution, but at least I won't have to worry about burning out my laptop's monitor any more. Also vbetool did not work for me. Specifically, it was able to turn off the backlight, but was not able to turn it back on. After using vbetool to turn off the backlight, I had to switch to a text console and back to get the backlight to come back on! ** Also affects: xfce4-power-manager Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-power-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/41994 Title: closed Laptop Lid to reliably keep Backlight off Status in The Dell Project: Invalid Status in Xfce4 Power Manager: New Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Currently, on Dapper Beta 1, closing the laptop lid causes the backlight to shut off.
