Occasional issues "waking" the screen with a controller

[Rainbowlemon]

I'm running Flex Launcher on a media centre PC, set to autostart on boot of my linux distro (Zorin 17). Occasionally after quitting an application to go back to the Flex Launcher, I will be presented with a black screen. This seems to occur after running on an application for a few days before quitting to return to flex launcher. Connecting my Xbox controller and pressing all the buttons doesn't do anything; the only way I can fix it is by using my VNC viewer to log into the machine from my windows PC, and press any button on the keyboard to "wake up" the screen. Once I do that, I can use my controller.

My power settings have been set to never turn off the screen or auto suspend. The screensaver for flex works fine (in my settings, goes to 70% intensity).

Here are the settings I'm using:

Thanks for the report. Did you build from source from master, or are you using a stable release?

It's the stable 2.1 deb release. I'm figuring it might have something to do with power settings but as far as I can tell, everything is set to always stay on 🤔
