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 but
with no display manager. journalctl reports that the "Gnome display
Manager" could not be started, despite five attempts.
