Title:
  Screen backlight doesn't shut down

Status in Gnome Powermanager:
  Unknown
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  My machine is an Imac G4 800MHz,256Mo Ram,17" LCD screen and Nvidia Geforce 4 video card.
  System is Xubuntu Feisty with all the latest updates.I didn't recompile the kernel.
  I use the nv drivers since the proprietary drivers are not available for ppc computers.

  Everything is working nice except one thing,when I ask the Screen to shut off using DPMS
  (xset dpms force off),the screen is getting blank as well,but the backlight is not shut off.
  I tried to switch the DPMS thing in xorg.conf without success.
