Well, neither the rc.local or the above recommendation worked.  The
only thing that works is:
/usr/bin/xset s off
/usr/bin/xset -dpms

Any ideas how to correct.  I am fairly sure it's xinetd doing this.
My start up script is located in /home/mythtv/.kde/Autostart/ and
includes the above but does not seem to work...

Thanks again...
