get xscreensaver working

I installed xcreensaver and configured it, but it doesn't turn off the monitor, or blank the screen, or do anything I told it to.
using xfce

also have gnome and kde installed, is gnome-screensaver or gnome-power-manager getting in  the way? I've had issues with them.

I've also failed at getting the display to turn off in xorg.conf after doing this:

however, I can turn off the display manually with
dpms xset force off

and, sometimes, just to but me, it will work.
