Yes there is, but (1) I can't remember the name of the file that I'm trying to think of, and (2) I need to know what version of Debian you are using -- I think I remember that you just recently installed it, thus it is presumably a new version -- if it's anything newer than Wheezy, then I think it uses systemd for startup and I know little to nothing about that -- someone else will have to chime in. I have two thoughts: * one is to search the appropriate file(s) that run at startup and see if one of them includes a command like xset -dpms * the other is to find the right systemd file (or directory) to include a command like you suggest (i.e., xset +dpms to run at the right time during startup
