Stretch: Greeter powers down and locks monitors
Hi, I'm running stretch with Xfce. Gnome is also installed. The login
greeter appears correctly, and allows login, but if I leave the "greeter"
screen too long, then something intervenes and puts the two monitors into
a sleep mode (iiyama E1700S orange light). I cannot find any key
combination which wakes up gdm3.
Command « inxi -GS » reports:

Command « ps -elf | grep gdm3 » reports

/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session gnome-session --autostart
/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart
Is there some way of either inhibiting the screensaver action or
recovering the greeter screen? My current workaround when this happens is
to log in via ssh and then as root run command « systemctl restart
gdm3.service ».
