I'm using bug #19356, which describes the same problem with a different iMac,
as an orientation for my bug description.

Expected:
$ xset dpms force standby;
should turn off LCD backlight.

Actual Result:
Screen is black, but LCD backlight stays on.

Workaround:
Use nv driver.

Some information on my system is already in bug #29455 (video bios dump,
register dump, "lspci -vvnn" output).

I downloaded, compiled, and ran radeontool, as was described in bug #19356:

nouveau driver:

DPMS on:
0x0060081c      0xa2565051 (-1571401647)

DPMS off:
