Since I use KDE, I configured the energy options to switch it off completely after a few minutes. However this doesn't work. The screen turns black, but the back light stays on. But you can turn it off by pressing this tiny button, which usually deactivates everything when closing the lid. I am using acpi_video, tried the dpms patch and dectivated the radeon module. Nothing helps... any ideas welcome. Cheers, Jochen
