      Have have had this installed for a while. It all works perfectly for few days and then stops waking up when you approach. If I login using VNC the screen in blank but using the keyboard to refresh Magic Mirror it all starts working again.

      Any ideas please?

      Running on a RPi 3B+

          Nothing comes up from the EXT-Alert. However the screen remains blank when I login via VNC on the Remote Desktop and the normal screen.

                why dtoverlay=vc4-fkms -v3d ?
                this driver don’t exist…

                Can you try with:
                dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

                  Sorry those are just additional spaces put in by the image capture software it is running the driver you suggest.

                  The annoying thing is it works perfectly for two or three days before stopping.

                    response is inside (EXT-Screen don’t turn off my screen) 😉

                        bah … correct your config.txt file in /boot

                        dtoverlay=vc4-fkms -v3d must be dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

                          It is correct already, I copied the line slightly wrong from the screen.

                            So can you give me again the result of:

                            cat /boot/config.txt |grep dtoverlay
                            

                            and past your EXT-Screen config too
