Dear Maintainer,
After installing Debian testing on my new PC recently, I noticed that my
monitor isn't powered off after the screen is blanked by GNOME. This worked
fine on my previous PC. What happens after manually locking (or after the 15
minutes of idleness):
- screen goes black and backlight goes off (as expected)
- after 12 seconds, the backlight goes back on (screen stays black). This is
unexpected and prevents the monitor from going into power save mode.
I saw this in the journalctl output, after manually locking the screen at 22:54:00:

That means, nothing special. At 22:54:20 I unlocked the system again, when I saw that the backlight turned back on.
This behaviour happens both under Wayland and Xorg.
I also tried to report this upstream, as I found something similar, but I'm not
sure if it's the same thing, but I'll mention it here for reference:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4773
As I wrote there:
Board: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI
Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 16-Core Processor (25/97/2)
I'm using the GPU from the Ryzen.
If there is anything I can do to help to analyze this or if there is a
workaround, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Manuel Bilderbeek
