I then tried starting the frontend on RPi, and same result::  Goes to DB config screen, and on finish it turns off the monitor.  When I turn it back on, it shows the desktop and turns off the monitor again (a detail not in my earlier posts).  Turn it back on again and I have the desktop.  Strange, no?

Please take a look at your .mythtv/config.xml file, which will be found
in the home directory on the raspberry Pi of the user that is running
the frontend. It seems there must be something wrong in there. If you
have a working frontend on another machine copy the config.xml from
there or compare them. If the config.xml has a name in the <Host> tag
make sure that the name is in your hosts file and test that you can
access it with ping. Check the user id and password in the file and see
if you can connect with mysql client using those.
