@Luís Silva : Closing the lid should turn off the display completely. not just the backlight [at present it just turns off the backlight] ...
To check if your laptop is actually turning off the display and not just the backlight : 1: Play a video , [easiest to identify if the LCD is off] 2: try to *gently* press the lid switch. [be gentle, if you press too hard the pin *will* break] now if the LCD turns off completely and you dont see any videos playing , your setup is working fine. if you have trouble differentiating use > $ xset dpms force off you will notice that there is no vide playing when you run the above command. For me , i can see the videos playing when i use the lid switch. the lid switch only turns off the backlight. this was not how it was earlier. And the burn-ins werent there earlier , its only after i had left a recent video file on the desktop in karmic , the thumbnail image got stuck! similar happened to a window frame! the line of an open window got clearly marked! [as i said, i keep this laptop running 24/7 ! which is a contributing factor] -- [karmic] display doesn't go to DPMS sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
