There are three things that could be called screen saver

Thanks, Dan, I'll try those and report back.

My system didn't recognize anything you suggested except:

    # gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0

Interestingly, all the other commands before AND AFTER the reboot responded:

     unable to open display ""

But I do have my monitor back and working. I'll report back if I get another freeze.

I should have reported some of my sys info: Debian 11, running the MATE version.
