I read: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Display_Power_Management_Signaling#DPMS_interaction_in_a_Linux_console_with_setterm http://webpages.charter.net/dperr/dpms.htm and so far I have not found a way to repeat the poweroff that worked on first boot. I did install the nvidia package for future use, which pulled in xorg-server as a dependency, but X is not started. I don't see why that would influence console behavior. If anybody has any additional information, I thank you in advance. - -- David C.
