Locking screen turns off Display

Hello,

When I use Lock Screen command, display is turned off. I would like just for password screen to show, without turning off display. I turned off Power Manager settings under General, When sleep and hibernate button are pressed to Do Nothing, and also under Display to Never Blank, Put to Sleep or Switch off.

If you're using "Blank screen" in xfce4-screensaver-preferences, be sure to disable DPMS in its settings (there is a button at the bottom of the theme list)

Alas, xfce4-screensaver is not in Stable repository.

Ah, if you're using another screensaver then I don't know, maybe try to see if there isn't something related to DPMS in its settings.
