Display off is lead by DPMS settings. So if you're indeed running
xscreensaver then it might be the problem. It doesn't touch anything
else.

I don't think you disabled xscreensaver, I think you just asked it to go
to blank screen. There's an advanced tab with power management stuff.

Then find out? Check what is installed, what is running?

Run it before, during and after screensaver activation (use ssh from
another box or switch to first console). Run xset -q and what is
important is the values at the end:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 0    Suspend: 0    Off: 0
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

Here they are disabled completely. Check for your install if it's set to
what is set in xfpm or in xscreenaver at the various time.
