On Arch Linux using Xfce not necessarily explains what screen lock / screensaver you are using.
Personally, I noticed that using xscreensaver, the screen locks but never enters standby, suspend, or off DPMS power saving modes. If I run "xset dpms force off" the monitor immediately powers off and comes back on when I hit a key or move the mouse. Also, xautolock is failing to detect inactivity and suspend my computer as I have it configured to do. This happened since upgrading from linux 4.6.4 to 4.7.2 and continues to occur with 4.7.4. I've noticed this on two separate computers, one running Intel graphics and the other running the nvidia driver. The version of xscreensaver has been unchanged for me at 5.35 since 1 July. -Eric
