      I have been running MM for sometime on a PI B3+. Recently I was doing updates and it would no longer work, which I believe was due to the OS I was running on the PI. I ended up doing a backup, upgrading to Bullseye, and then re-rolling the mirror. Everything works good, with the exception of the display timeout settings. No matter what I do, it doesn’t appear I can get the display to stay on perpetually. It always times out after some time. The display doesn’t go off as I can see the backlighting still on when it’s night, but the signal times out. I can prompt it to come back online, but want it to just stay on at all times. any thoughts?

              Well I spoke too soon. After running your script it stayed on longer than 10 minutes, but after 1-2 hours, it went black yet again.

                After a few other reboots, this does seem to be working now.
