Unfortunately the latest Edgy updates as at today have not not fixed this for me. I'm running a Toshiba notebook with S3 Savage.
Running 'xset dpms force off' makes the screen go black but the backlight stays on (it doesn't even turn off for a second), and just a few seconds later the screen starts to increase in brightness and appears to 'display' the pattern of transistors making up the TFT panel itself. I am happy for you to close this bug, and I'll go and lurk in the other similar backlight bugs until this is fixed, e.g.: bug 71368 bug 37364 bug 37540 bug 41994 bug 40667 bug 30802 -- Laptop backlight does not turn off https://launchpad.net/bugs/19410 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
