DPMS + PVR 350 + ivtv 0.3.7b = No livetv audio & frequent lockups,
so that didn't work.

I couldn't get a screensaver working last night. I tried setting 
BlankTime in
my XF86Config-4 (I'm running KnoppMyth R5A16), and changing
    /home/mythtv/.fluxbox/apps

From:
    xset -dpms s off

To:
    xset -dpms s blank s on

But those changes had no effect. I have no experience with fluxbox. I
use KDE on my normal desktop, so I'm rather at a loss. Any suggestions?
