That apparently turned it off for this boot.  Where do I do it in the 
boot so It is always turned off? I think its runnin x, not wayland. or 
is it, I just checked, its blanked again.  I issued xset s noblank, xset 
q says dpms is enabled. So I disabled it again.

AArch64 debian, what do I remove to totally disable the screen blanker? 
I don't even want it installed. in other words, noblank for the next 20 
years.... Apparently it is running wayland, and I can't run sudo synapticc.

Lets start by fixing that?
