The cause of this issue has to be in Xorg 1.20 then (18.04 comes with 1.19).
I assume that xserver-xorg-video-intel is still installed by default, so please check if removing this driver package has any effect (the generic modesetting driver will be used instead).

System will lock and turn-off monitors(automatically or manually), but--will not wake- up monitors upon keyboard or mouse activity. I can type unlock password, blindly and then the monitors will wake and show unlocked session. WORKAROUND: I uninstalled light-locker, then, I installed gnome- screensaver. Xfce4(Xubuntu.desktop) will fallback on gnome-screensaver if light-locker is not found or installed.
