My search attempts likely failed because I didn't know the appropriate terms. After some initial inactivity the screen blanks and can can be brought back to life by mouse movement. After a longer period of inactivity one must touch the power button. What are the correct names for these states? How does a user (preferably not root) control the timing of entering these states? I know that I've reset them because the defaults were inconvenient. Now they are inappropriate. I'm using Debian 9.8. TIA

There are several targets (hibernate.target, suspend.target and sleep.target) which are used to enter a different "state". You can change the settings in the logind.conf. Please check man logind.conf for all the options. -H -- Henning Follmann | hfollmann@itcfollmann.com

That's what I needed. I'm using MATE not Gnome.
On main menu I needed to go to:
System->Preferences->Hardware->Power Management
All my searches had led to manpage entries for much too low a level.
Thank you.
