    I've got FC2 on a Dell D400 laptop, and have set the screen saver
    to blank screen only; and although the screen goes blank, the
    LCD backlight remains on. I can manuallly turn the light off with

        xset dpms force off

    Is there any way I can get this to happen automatically?

    Dave.
