If I do

  sudo dpms off

the screen (including the backlight) goes indeed go blank.  I then have
to blindly type sudo dpms on to get the display back (moving the
mouse/touching the keyboard does not do that.)

I updated lid.sh and am happy again.  Thanks!

Will the 'dpms' package be present in Hoary's main in the future?

(By the way, I did try booting with acpi=off.  Closing the lid did turn
the backlight off.)
