[mythtv-users] nvidia geforce fx 5200 and DPMS with HDTV

[Jonathan Seawright]

What exactly did you do to fix the overscan? is it the thing in the setup where it shrinks mythtv down a bit?

  Hi all, I've finally hooked up a DVI-HDMI cable to my hdtv and it looks 10 times better. I've compensated for overscan using the mythfrontend setup. The last bit of trouble I face is that the screen relentlessly blacks out after so many minutes (I haven't timed it). I imagine that DPM is to blame, but "xset -q" says it's off. It's not turned on in my xorg.conf file either. Despite this, my /var/log/Xorg.log file spits out:

  (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "1920x1080"
  (II) Loading extension NV-GLX
  (II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized 
  (II) NVIDIA(0): Using the NVIDIA 2D acceleration architecture
  (==) NVIDIA(0): Backing store disabled
  (==) NVIDIA(0): Silken mouse enabled 
  (**) Option "dpms" "FALSE"
  (**) NVIDIA(0): DPMS enabled
  (II) Loading extension NV-CONTROL
  (==) RandR enabled

  "DPMS enabled" everytime. I don't understand why. Does anyone know how to stop this?
  I should also mention that a simple press of the keyboard doesn't seem to "wake" the tv. I have to jump to a text terminal ( ALT + F5 ) and then back again ( ALT + F7 ).
