Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I have found both of these settings but they haven't helped too much. The /etc/default/console-setup, VIDEOMODE line was oringally blank, so I tried setting it and it made no difference. Likewise, fiddling with the display modes in grub didn't help too much either. I think the max mode I could run, according to vbeinfo or whatever is was is 1080p, so I chose that. I think it was auto selecting that already. Thinking back, I seem to recall the issue with the screen turning off started after I switched from Nouveau to the Nvidia driver. It fixed the issue I had with X but broke my console. Regards, Mike.
