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.
