I use i3 in Ubuntu Studio with xfce DE and it seems that regular xorg.conf editing way is not actual here, cause xfce does not use one. I tried to autostart xfce4-power-manager but it does not start in i3 somehow. So is there a way to stob screen turning off automatically in i3?

xset s off
xset -dpms
xset s noblank
