I made a script that is called when a X session start (instead of
calling mythfrontend)
The script then does:
#! /bin/bash
xset s noblank
xset s off
xset -dpms
while true; do
/usr/bin/xwit -root -warp 1920 1080
/usr/bin/mythfrontend --service > /dev/null
done
If mythfrontend crashes; it is restarted automatically ; forever
