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.


I'd try simply replacing GDM with lightdm. Just a workaround, but the
oroginal problem might by very hard to solve.

In file /etc/X11/default-display-manager I replaced /usr/sbin/gdm3 with/usr/sbin/lightdm and restarted the box. It got as far as run level 5 butwith no display manager. journalctl reports that the "Gnome displayManager" could not be started, despite five attempts.
