This is a Lenovo x120e.
Even on battery, there is still some backlight.  Less, for sure,
but when I turn the room light off, I can still see it.

On my other Lenovo x120e with F20 and Gnome, the screen really
turns off.


Unfortunately, I do not see this on my laptop. Has this started
happening recently?

I have submitted a new update to xfce4-power-manager

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xfce4-power-manager-1.4.2-1.fc21

Would you be able to give it a try and see if that works?

Just tested screen blanking using the Final RC2 Live workstation that boots Gnome. It is set (on battery) to blank the screen at 5 minutes. It did just that. The screen is off. Turn off the light in my office and the screen is dark, unlike the Xfce install which still has the backlight on.

I will be installing the RC2 Xfce via the netinst CD tonight or tomorrow...

I noticed in the booting a message from the kernel:

Gnome does seem to know how to turn off the screen. So I decided to go back to the Xfce and check the journalctl from yesterday's testing:

Perhaps this will help.
