hi,
i agree that if you are using nv driver, then the screen goes black, but not the backlight. only with nvidia bianry driver the backlight goes off. if you want to use the binary nvidia driver, you should use version 5336, because the newest one 6221 (or so..) actually hangs when switching to the console. with the 5336, going back to the console after X flickers and in twin view isnt displayed at all( when the X is killed on shutdown) but the system doesnt hang. so it is quite useable if you (as i do) are using xterm.
