From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is not likely to be XFCE specific.
Make sure you have properly configured swap space and its size is larger than RAM. Because this will be the easiest cause. Some people stated as much as twice the ram size.
There’s a wiki page on arch wiki trying to help with this issue. In short, prepare for a lot of work and good luck.
It seems to be, or it's related to my xfce+I3 setup. I tried starting the xfce power manager in i3 and it woke up correctly 10 times in a row. And executing an xrandr config turns the monitor back on.
AFAIK swap is only used for hibernation. Suspend keeps ram (and a single core/thread?) powered, so it's not needed.
