What would be interesting is to check if it's related to this
specific change or some others I did.
In order to verify that, you can open drivers/video/aty128fb.c,
and in this file, you'll find around line 2517, those two lines
#define BACKLIGHT_LVDS_OFF
#define BACKLIGHT_DAC_OFF
If you turn the 2 #define into #undef and recompile, do you
see any difference in power consumption ? Now, if you only
turn one of them ? etc..

Ben.
