      @pyrosmiley thanks for sharing your experience. Actually because I cannot wakup the screen I put /sbin/reboot in crontab, that is nasty solution but works. But it costs the reboot.

        @gregoryorciuch Yeah, it’s an ugly solution, but it works! I’d do the same, but my screen is blanking after about 25 minutes at most, and I just can’t justify a full reboot ever half hour.

          @gregoryorciuch I just remembered – are you using a PIR sensor? It seems like that’s been the source of the problem for a lot of people, and there seems to be a fix. Unfortunately, I am not so that doesn’t impact me and I didn’t remember to mention it.

            Hi Gregory
            tvservice isnt compatible with the KMS driver, you need to use fkms to retain that compativility

              @cdelaorden I’ve changed the driver from kms to fkms and tvservice commands are now working as is display_rotate=1 in config.txt which is great, the issue I now have is transitions on the screen, compliments changing, news headlines etc are not smooth at all in fact they are quite jittery, any suggestions?

                @bradau no sorry, thats not my case

                if you dont have any problem with the full kms maybe you will have to search of a tvservice alternative, something that works on any linux desktop and not specific to RPI
