[mythtv-users] MythFontend blank screening after 10 Mins of opertion - Not due to Screen Saver

[Robert MacKinnon]

Xscreensaver is getting in the way of DPMS control by the frontend 
software.  To fix, SSH into the frontend, sudo to the mythtv user and 
run "gnome-screensaver-preferences -display :0".  On your display, a 
gnome config panel will appear into which you set the time before idle 
to max and disable the screensaver function (I did both although that is 
probably overkill).
