 Does anyone else have issues with StartOS HDMI? It'll work right after a boot, but it seems like the OS sleeps or something after awhile and the HDMI won't find a signal when the display is connected.

I have the machine connected to my TV and will periodically switch to that input, but I can't get anything to display unless the machine is hard restarted, which obviously isn't good. Trying to use the keyboard and mouse doesn't help.

The system is running the latest OS.

 Most likely this is an issue with the graphics driver. Which ISO did you flash? Many screens will need the "nonfree" ISO to work properly.

May I ask why do you have screen connected? Except for flashing firmware and extremely rare debugging purposes, there is absolutely no reason to connect a monitor. servers are meant to run headless (mno screen/monitor).
