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)? -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <g...@debian.org>
