Write an uinput_test.py like this:
import uinput
with uinput.Device([uinput.KEY_LEFTALT]) as device:
device.emit_click(uinput.KEY_LEFTALT)
then you do
# setterm -blank 1
# sleep 90 && python uinput_test.py
It's just a test. After 60 seconds screen will go off, and

put the card into a pc with unix and do
fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1 fsck /dev/mmcblk0p2
and that's it!

/etc/rc.local is executed at boot and activate swapfile if exist.
Font Configuration
This method involves editing a system file called “console-setup”. You just need to load it into your preferred text editor and tweak a few lines :
sudo nano /etc/default/console-setup
You will see the default setting.
Using the arrow keys position the cursor and change the FONTFACE and FONTSIZE lines to :
FONTFACE="Terminus" FONTSIZE="16x32"
To apply these new settings to your command prompt without rebooting you can run the following command :
sudo /etc/init.d/console-setup restart
