"switch off display" when lid closed doesn't work in XFCE

Strange:
I followed this:

And changed ‘IgnoreLid’ from ‘false’ to ‘true’. After a restart: HDMI didn’t work at all!
I unchanged it then (made it ‘false’ again) but still: HDMI doesn’t work at all.
I also tested another HDMI cable.
I don’t know what happen.
