Hi,

I got a new Dell laptop (Precision M70). I would like to know how I can 
turn off the backlight of the LCD. The backlight doesn't turn off when I 
flip down the screen or when asked by xscreensaver.

I've also tried the different sleep states without success. S1 and S2 
don't seem to be supported and I get "acpi0: device_suspend failed" when 
I try S3 or S4.

Thanks
