Xfce has a mode switch (normal/presentation) in Xfce Power Manager's tray icon menu, but it does not work well with xscreensaver. I have been working on xflock4 script that is used by Xfce for locking. My version will save the dpms state, use decent state while locked, and restore the old state, when unlocked; the system works by non-forking lockers only (i.e. lockers that run on foreground). The script could be used as lxlock if modified slightly. See https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10217
** Bug watch added: Xfce Bugzilla #10217 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10217 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xscreensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1255815 Title: screenlock does not dpms off when screensaver is disabled Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Desktop Environments like OpenBox and LXDE (in Lubuntu and Debian LXDE) rely on xscreensaver-command -lock to lock the screen. When locking the screen, the screen should turn off (e.g. backlight off). But this only works if you have "Blank Screen Only" with a timeout selected in xscreensaver-demo. If you disable the screensaver, lock will turn the screen black but won't turn it off (backlight off) anymore. This is undesirable. In certain usecases don't want to have a screensaver or blank screen after a timeout, e.g. for a media player. But we DO want to turn the screen off (completely off) when we lock the screen. (Otherwise the HDMI channel remains 'open' and a multisource display device will keep selecting the black screen when another source/player/platform/console reboots and detaches it's HDMI signal for a few seconds.)
