The backlight stays on. I am going to try a different command (a much more visible one); if it gets run correctly each time, then it's xset's fault; else, acpid's. 2009/2/18 Thayer Williams <thayerw@gmail.com>:

After many hours of searching, I still cannot figure it out. The problem is definitely not in the xset dpms force off command -- it's in the fact that ACPI simply stops realising that the lid is closed. Is there anything that can be done?
Is it that the backlight stays on after close, or does it stay off and being opened?
Have you tried any commands other than xset, such as xscreensaver, etc.?
I have the exact same laptop and experience no such behaviour.
