Hi, I'm running Ubuntu Server 8.04.1, all latest updates on an HP Compaq nx8220 Notebook. Seem like this bug is still not fixed, as my console screen blanks, but the backlight stays on. Very annoying.
Note, that I had to use the vanilla Desktop Kernel, as the special server kernel does not work on machines without PAE (see Bug #151942) While googling I found this link, which describes the exact same problem. Unfortunaltely I have no idea of kernel configuration, but it might help to check if "Power management options >> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support >> Video" Kernel config is enables in the current Kernel.
