So, new laptop (Dell Premium PA 14250 if it matters) and my screen goes dark when the laptop has no keyboard active for a while (perhaps five minutes) which is great. 

However, for this new laptop, it seems to got to suspend mode (presumably after a while) which also means that several things have to be started all over again (including VPN, etc).

I do not use a desktop, having put my faith on the openbox WM. Is this a BIOS setting somewhere that has this happen? I do not recall ever having to change something in the past to make it not go to suspend if it is idle for a while.

Many thanks again, and best wishes,
Ranjan
