Xfce - Display doesn't switch off after specified period of time.

I have strange problem with power manager. When I set switch display off when computer is in-active it sometimes work and sometimes not. I've noticed that it works for some period of time right after it was set( eg. I set it to switch display off after 5 minutes, so it will work once).
Problem started to appear after I installed xscreensaver. I disabled power managing from xscreensaver but it didn't helped.

Any ideas what it might be, or where should I look for reson?

Re: Xfce - Display doesn't switch off after specified period of time.

Hello,
I had this problem before and after installing xscreensaver. In the end I disabled monitor contol in power manager (and left power manager to manage the hard drive) and enabled monitor control in xscreensaver. It works fine for me. I'm using a macbook 7,1 with Arch 3.15.5-2 but have had my set up like this for a while now.
Hope that helps.
