There was a problem hiding this comment.
I've added these here rather than in config, as they need to be changed at runtime, maybe there is a better place to define these?

Adds options to turn off the disabling power management and rotate the screen if required.
Depending the the use case of the OS it may be desirable to keep the standard power management options for Xorg so that the screen will blank when the input is idle for an amount of time. For example this will mean that the screen will blank until a touchscreen is touched.
Depending on the screen used, it can be rotated at an Xorg level also in the start_gui script. For my use case this is required when using a non official raspberry pi 10" touch screen in the standard case. (Official touch screens use an option in
/boot/config.txt).
