Hi,
I'm running ubuntu 14.04 but not using gnome screensaver and using DPMS
to shut the monitor off after 10 minutes of inactivity. It appears that
inhibit DPMS is no longer working in in the latest build of 0.28, after
10 minutes of watching TV my screen goes blank by DPMS. I have noticed
some changes in the logs when starting and stopping playback and no
longer seeing DPMS messages.
Previous build of 0.28 ( DPMS inhibit was working )
Starting playback:
Apr 22 07:55:36 POKEY mythfrontend: mythfrontend[23915]: I CoreContext
screensav
er-x11.cpp:150 (DisableDPMS) ScreenSaverX11Private: DPMS Deactivated 1
Stopping playback:

er-x11.cpp:167 (RestoreDPMS) ScreenSaverX11Private: DPMS Reactivated 1
Current build of 0.28 ( DPMS inhibit not working )
Starting playback:

Stopping playback:
2015-04-25 09:03:09.251388 I ScreenSaverDBus: Screensaver uninhibited

I see some commits adding the new dbus screensaver, but is there anyway
to tell the frontend to use the previous DPMS functionality that has
been supported for years?
Thanks,
Dennis
