Thanks. At least I know that this is not something wrong with my configuration.
As I mention before this is a small problem and of course I can live
with it too, but
this is not a point. I often leave my notebook for a few hours to compile some
programs and simply it would be nice if the screen stays off during that time.
Moreover, if the lid is closed I expect that the screen stays off as well.
Fortunately, at least I have the simple solution with switching to the
console ...
