Screensaver in Octoprint-TFT

[Dainse]

While the printer is printing if there are no touches on the tft, the screen turns black as "energy saving" or screen saver. How could it be deactivated? Thanks for your work!

I solved it like this:

Create file with following content and restart raspberry afterwards.

sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"
EndSection

Thank you!!! This solution really worked for me! the screen is always on!

But the problem of freezing in touch interface has not been solved, it keeps freezing even if the screensaver does not run.

See if there is a solution to this problem soon. Thank you!!!

@Dainse Sounds like issue #34 for which workaround is available.

I am having this freezing issue also. Is there a fix? Only way to get the screen responsive is to wait for the print to finish and reboot the Pi.

Same Problem here with the latest Version. Screensaver is not bad at all but it would be nice if the screen could be reactivated with a touch on the display,.. mine goes black and freezes forever (also if the print has finished)

I tried to solve it like you said. the screen doesn't go blank now.

but now i have always to login when restarting, which wasn't the case before, and Octoprint-TFT won't start the GUI.

Why?
