i’ve installed DietPi from scratch and now it’s working when i start it manually in terminal like you described.  
it wakes on touch also…

do you know if it’s possible to prevent the “wake-touch” to get recognized as click input ?  
because i don’t want to accidently start/stop things which i can’t see when i wake the screen …

similar like it’s described here:

unfortunatly i can’t get backlight\_dimmer working with dietpi … i keep getting error msgs like display-manager.service not found and so on…
