I am running xfce 4.11. Power manager is configured to do nothing when the lid closes.
When I close the lid, I get ACPI events and that trigger the /etc/acpi/lid.sh scipt.
this script in turn calls "CheckPolicy" which returns 0 since xfce4 power manager is running and the lid.sh script exits before actually doing anything. In particular, when I open the lid, 'xset dpms force on' does not get called and the screen stays dark.

looks to me, the acpi script relinquishes all duties to xfce4-power-manager - as it should - but xfce4-power-manager does not turn power to the screen back on.
