In this case, you might want to try passing “-dpms”. Quoting the Xserver manpage: | dpms enables DPMS (display power management services), where sup‐ | ported. The default state is platform and configuration spe‐ | cific. | | -dpms disables DPMS (display power management services). The default | state is platform and configuration specific. I'm not sure which options could be useful, though. Anyway, you could check the DPMS hypothesis yourself, rebuilding rootskel-gtk with this option added to: src/lib/debian-installer.d/S62Xorg KiBi.
