For those having issues with the screen turning off
Aha - I could see the login dial pad screen momentarily a few times, but mostly it was blank all the rest of the time I kept trying stops/starts/restarts that tantalized me with just some of the start/stop console messages, so I knew the screen was physically ok (and it works perfectly on UPports, but I hate the Unity UI, as I did with older Ubuntu PC versions, so went with Mint/Mate instead for its classic Gnome 2 look).
Could any of you who have solved this problem see if you can find a setting in a configuration file that controls this behavior, and post here if you find it? That would let the rest of us pull the SD card to edit on a PC to skip all that trial and error frustration (with much thankfulness to the helpful "pioneers" ;-} ).
TIA!
