Hardware: Thinkpad T22, S3 Savage IX-MV
Software: kernel 2.6.10, latest ACPI patch, latest ibm_acpi.ko, Debian
Unstable
Since I have switched my power management to ACPI, screen blanking from
xscreensaver doesn't turn off the backlight anymore. This used to work
without problems with APM, it seems DPMS is not working on this laptop
if ACPI is enabled.
I can sucessfully control the backlight via
echo lcd_[enable|disable] > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
and, using the hotkey feature and some script in /etc/acpi/actions, I
can toggle the screen with Fn-F3.
Does anybody have an idea how to turn off the backlight from xscreensaver?
Thanks!
