PineTab2 screen won't turn back on until reboot
#1
This is a different problem than the one that's been reported where the screen just won't turn on at all.

It's also different from suspend/hibernate not working, because the system is still running and reachable via SSH.

The screen is turning off after a period of inactivity (even though I've set power management not to turn off the screen) and won't turn back on until I reboot the tablet. The keys light up when I press them. The USB network adapter I have shows activity. I can even SSH in from another computer.

But the screen *does* come back on after reboot, whether I use the command line through an SSH session, or whether I just hold the power button down until it shuts off, then power it on again.

I'm currently using LxQt on the factory-shipped danctnix updated to the latest with pacman.

Has anyone else seen this? Any solution, or a tip for finding what else might be powering off the screen if my desktop session isn't doing it?
