Didn't turn the backlight off on my I8000 with GeForce2Go, unless I
hit Fn-D, which no longer works with ACPI enabled.  But there's
something else on FC2: even with ACPI disabled, there's something that
brings the screen back on after I hit Fn-D.  The only way I know to
actually switch the screen off completely is to close the lid.  Then,
even if I bring it back open, the screen remains off until I press
some key.
