On my T23 the screen goes blank, but the backlight stays on, when I do
xset dpms force off.

Ubuntu Hoary has a 'vbetool' package that lets me turn the screen off
with 'vbetool dpms off'.  My /etc/acpi/lid.sh looks like this:

  grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state
  if [ $? =3D 0 ]
  then
          vbetool dpms off
  else
          vbetool dpms on
  fi

Well, one characteristic sometimes found is... to put it politely...
creative typography.  Very creative typography.
