Crawl-tiles normally starts up in full-screen mode. It could be that this
causes the X server to change the resolution to something your laptop screen
does not like, causing it to turn off. To start crawl-tiles in windowed mode,
add the following to ~/.crawlrc:

tile_full_screen = false

Let me know if that works without your laptop screen going to sleep.

Also, because there is of course still a bug somewhere, could you please tell
me which brand and model laptop you have, along with the output of the command
"lspci" (apt-get install pciutils if you do not have that yet)?
