MX21, CF-29, Blank Screen

I have the screen set to blank instead of running a screensaver. Problem was that the desktop would not show when coming out of the blank screen. The pointer was visible, and worked, and the backlight was on. Found a fix on the MX Forum.

Last entry on the linked thread is from a user that says he had issues using the method shown. FYI.
