I'll have to check that out on my Pismo. I usually only run YDL on my iMac. It has KDE 2.2.1 and I upgraded to the Fuji release.
My Pismo has my original YDL 2.0 release on it and isn't upgraded at all. I can tell if the backlight is on by the white Apple symbol but I rarely boot the Pismo in YDL.
Is there a manual method of turning off the backlight?
