Sorry it took so long, I missed your reply.

"xset dpms force off" is supposed to turn off the screen immediately 
using DPMS, at least thats what it seems to do.
I just don't want to suspend (suspend the whole system to RAM) everytime 
I close the lid, rather I like it to continue to work on whatever I told 
it to do :-)

Bye
Christoph
