This bug seems to affect me in 10.10 (I have not tried to reproduce it
yet in natty but I can in a few minutes). "xset dpms force off" will
stay off for 30-60s before coming on again. "sudo radeontool light off"
fails without an error. If I let the backlight turn off on it's own, it
seems to stay off (will test this shortly).
Are any workarounds confirmed? Is this the right place to post comments?
