           Summary: Backlight does not power off when using KMS
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: fry.kun at gmail.com
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


When I close the laptop lid, the backlight should turn off. I've verified that
xfce4-power-manager (XFCE applet responsible for this) is running and sends the
appropriate command (DPMSForceLevel(GDK_DISPLAY (), DPMSModeOff)) -- but the
backlight stays on.
I've also tried with xset dpms force suspend which didn't do anything either.

As per recommendation from fedora-users list, I tried booting with nomodeset --
and backlight started turning off properly.

Running Fedora 11 with default driver (radeon)
