[K12OSN] Terminals with screen in power save do not come back to life with mouse / keyboard

[Adam Melancon]

That doesn't always work... I have had some monitors that go into
sleep mode, and don't come out of it unless you unplug the monitor
from the VGA port and plug it into another computer that will send it
a signal to wake it up.
That can be a major pain!
