      Those are configuration settings that are explained in the wiki. However, it’s worth noting that it only works if you have the 'x11-server-utils' package installed as you’ve discovered. On a stock Rasbian Jessie install, that package does get installed, but I suspect those with different distributions, or a Jessie-Lite install won’t have that. I’ll amend the wiki shortly. Thank you.

      A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

        I think for noobs like me it would be much easier if you just put the ‘how to install’ with it into the wiki. Of course, people can use google, but why not keep it as simple (and complete) as possible. With this I mean the apt-get stuff…

          True, however that stuff is outside of the scope of the project. We can certainly help (and we do), but to cover every possible situation and solution, that gets to be too much really fast. But I do get what you mean.

            Hello I have followed all the steps mentioned here and in the wiki however My raspberry Pi 3 still times out after a few minutes and the screen goes blank. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas that could be the issue. Sorry for such little information I am very new to this and appreciate any help you have to offer.

              So you did install the x11-xserver-utils?
              Are you sure everything went fine during that process? So no errors?

                @flooo sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils worked x11-xserver-utils is installed fine with no errors.
