I have an issue since recent updates (on Precise) where my laptop
backlight stays on when the screen is blanked following a period of
inactivity. The screen goes blank but the backlight is still on,
which rather defeats the object of the exercise. This is with Intel
graphics. I can't find a bug report other than [1] which maintains
that the issue is to do with nvidia. I don't know what package to
report the bug against, suggestions would gratefully received.

Can I add a 'me too' to this bug please. I've been wondering why my
screen doesn't turn off properly - i.e. it goes blank but with the
backlight on still - and Colin's message suggests that what I'm seeing
is a bug.

I'm seeing the same on both a desktop machine (with Intel graphics) and
on a laptop (Acer Aspire), both running xubuntu 11.10.

I am on Intel graphics with dual monitors and primary screen would
turn off while secondary screen would not.

Much to my surprise I find that following some updates and a reboot
the backlight now seems to be behaving itself. Whether the fix was as
a result of the upgrades or whether something had just got confused
and the reboot fixed it I do not know.
