* When running qt over eglfs, matrix may blank out after 10 minutes of
  inactivity.
* When this occurs, the matrix is not recoverable and muyst be manuallyi
  restarted.
* This occurs because virtual terminal in which matrix is running will blank
  due to kernel configuration.
* Writing certain special characters into the virtual terminal device can
  disable the blanking.
* The utils-linux package contains the "setterm" utility which may obtain the
  same results with the command "setterm -blank 0 -powerdown 0", however,
  utils-linux is not present on the filesystem.
