[mythtv-users] New Ubuntu Install - couple of nigly problems

[Nemo Inis]

Hi Bruce,

You may want to turn the X screensaver off and (maybe) the dpms (energy 
star) off as well.
(I need dpms off too in my case because my silly A/V receiver  displays 
a bright blue screen on the TV when the video input is blank instead of 
leaving it black. Duh...)

I've added these lines in my /usr/local/bin/mythtv.h  , just before 
starting mythtv & openbox session:

#turn screeensaver and dpms (energy star) off
xset s off
xset -dpms

Hope this helps
