xset dpms force off
xset dpms force standby
etc...

...all still fail to switch off the backlight on my notebook. I have
done numerous fresh installs of Ubuntu since the problem first appeared
with Feisty Fawn, and have tested with both Hardy Heron & Intrepid Ibex.

Here is the 2nd of the 2 files you asked for.

For anyone with the same problem, there's an interesting page with a
possible workaround here:
