I turned off a couple things:
1. Disable any screensaver in your window manager if it has one
2. Disable DPMS in your X windows configuration file or use "xset
-dpms" before executing mythfrontend
3. Disable an X screensaver using "xset s off" before executing
mythfrontend
4. Disable powersaving in general using "setterm -powersave off" prior
to starting X (I had to do this on a frontend that I used a "textual"
login for and not the graphical GDM/KDM login)
