Problem with xset dpms force off

[El Raspa]

Hello everyone

I have intel chipset and ubuntu 9.10 (fresh install)

when I run 'xset dpms force off' the backlight turns off but after a few seconds (30 to 120) it turns on again and is driving me crazy

I have disabled the screensaver but it keeps doing it

When I had 9.04 this problem doesn't happened

Can anyone help me please?

Regards!

so much for trying to sleep. I am on arch linux, and am experiencing the same problem after doing an upgrade.

only happened with the last release of something within the last few days, will know more tomorrow.

I'm seeing the same problem on Ubuntu 9.10. This didn't happen with Ubuntu 9.04.

I have a Dell Latitude E6500 with nvidia Quadro NVS 160m graphics (using the nvidia driver version 185.18.36, from the Hardware Drivers wizard).

I confirm the problem, this time with 9.10 on an HP HDX16 laptop with Nvidia 9600M graphics card.
