The decision to skip Wayland and stick with X for this build makes complete sense for a single-purpose appliance. When you need predictable screen blanking and don't care about fancy compositor features, why add complexity? I've been down the path of using SD cards in always-on systems and the Chromium profile in RAM trick is solid. Had one project where browser cache writes killed a card in about 8 months, learned that lesson the hardway. The fractional pixel issue with DSI vs HDMI is facinating too, classic example of why hardware that self-describes wins over assumed configuraitons.
Thank you. I had to stumble quite a bit. I was trying to be picky about improving on the previous display. I am by no means an expert any of this. Looking back now I understand why the graphics people I work for that Apple. We're so finicky
