Fujitsu Siemens Amilo La 1703 screen doesn't turn off either in power saving mode.
Maybe we should report this bug separately for each laptop following these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI

Could you please try this in a recent Hardy? We've recently put in some HAL updates that do help with backlight control on many computers. You should be able to try with a live CD.

I just tested it with Hardy Alpha live cd and it's still the same. Screen goes black but doesn't turn off. Still consuming power. And it would be better if it would be possible to set the turn off time to less than 11 minutes.

Funny thing, when I unplug the power cord for a moment, and then plug it back then turning off the screen works, until next restart.

This trick didn't work for me. I even tried to leave the power cord unplugged but no good.

It works for me. My screen doesn't turn off only after resuming from suspend. After a reboot or the above trick, blanking the screen works normally.
