      @stickyrib with the 2.4 release a heating problem arose with heavy cpu usage due to electron. Is was adviced tot use the fkms (see post michael). When i followed up on this post both alternatives did not work out for me. One option got me star night like flickering in the widgets on screen, the other led to what you described. So I returned to the driver which was used up unto 2.3.
      Never thought about powering via the monitor to be the probleproblem/solution, but I do connect it that way.

      So still on default screen driver and no heating problem and no flickering.

      Modules MMM-rainfc, MMM-bustimes, MMM-Harmony, MMM-Rijks

          If i use the kfm driver. All okay …
          Only Problem ist tvservice -p dont work
          But
          vcgencmd display_power 0
          and
          vcgencmd display_power 1
          works.

          The MMM-PIR Senor Modul use
          Vvgencmd so all is Fine for me.

          I Hope. My Sensor will Come on monday

            Had a similar problem a couple of months ago. Following the instructions on MagicMirror Wiki page, I enabled the Full KMS OpenGL driver instead of using the fake one. As my setup is vertically mounted, I used xrandr to rotate the display.
            Finally, installed a cooling fan on Raspberry Pi. No problem since then.

              Thanks everyone - I have a few days off, so have restarted my build - so far so good, but it’s early days.

              Have enabled the Full KMS, rather than the fake, and rotated using xrandr - hopefully that will keep it stable.

              I really appreciate the feedback.

                So, I’ve got the mirror rebuilt and it’s working really well.
                I haven’t gone near the PIR sensor yet, but plan to back up the SD Card in the state I have it now and come back to it if needed.
                In short, I have the standard modules working in a portrait rotated position running on the official KMS OpenGL driver and it’s transitioning smoothly and without the glitching.

                One thing that has occurred to me, during my first build I was using the overscan_left=16 options from within config.txt - I know that the rotate_lcd=1 option works in FKMS, but I’m throwing it out there that the problem I had might have been the overscan options in conjunction with the FKMS OpenGL driver - I haven’t tested this, but thought I’d comment here for others who might visit this thread in the future.

                  @hrjmsh did you do anything special to get xrandr to rotate your display for your vertical setup? I disabled fmks and reverted to full kms (dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d), but couldn’t get the screen to rotate.

                  If you have any insight or advice, it’s greatly appreciated :)
