[SOLVED] How to set xfce4 auto blackscreen time?

Didn't find any option in /etc/systemd/logind.conf to set this feature. (I've set some handle option to ignore)
And I've set it in xfce4-power-manager but it doesn't work.

How to set auto blackscreen time and auto sleep time while using xfce4?

Thanks for all reply.
have a good day.

Edit: monitor power settings in xfce4-power-manager

Thanks for the "keep blank" issue BTW I don't know why it does't respect monitor power settings in xfce4-power-manager, that design(or bug?) is stupid.

And ,I don't know what you mean about "monitor power settings in xfce4-power-manager"

xfce4-power-manager had some problems in the last release. Have you updated it? You might want to try installing a different power manager to see if the problem is with xfce4-power-manager or the underlying power management (upower).

You should be able to set a the screen blank timeout with xset. Type "xset q" and look under "Screen Saver" to see what your settings currently are. You set them with "xset s". Read the manpage to see the options.
