[mythtv-users] Screen Saver while on menu but not while watching a program

[Hans Rasmussen]

Myth 20 does this now.  Turns DPMS off and on as needed.  Only trouble I had 
was once the screensaver (blank) kicked in, I had to hit a button on the 
keyboard or move the mouse to get the menu back, hitting a button on the 
remote didn't do it.  I could actually go into live tv with the screen 
blank.

Have you tried it?  My understanding is that MythTV will interact with
xscreensaver to disable it as needed while watching.
