[mythtv-users] mythfrontend unresponsive after inactivity

[Justin Nolan]

I have the most peculiar issue that has been bugging me for months. I  
leave my frontend/backend running 24/7, and when I'm using it I never  
have any issues. Pressing a button on the remote wakes the graphics  
card up, and I continue wherever I last left off. The problem is,  
about 30% of the time, the graphics card wont wake up to a remote  
control press. Plugging in a mouse and wiggling it wakes it up. BUT,  
mythfrontend is completely unresponsive. I always leave myth on the  
Watch Recordings page, and when this happens, the frontend is frozen  
on that page, but completely empty with no recordings listed. The only  
way to bring the system back is to ssh in from another machine and  
kill mythfrontend. Of course I've checked the mythfrontend log, and  
there are absolutely no errors or anything logged.

Does anyone have any insight for me? I'm not sure if it's  
mythfrontend, lirc, or my graphics card to blame. Again, the only time  
this happens is when the system has been idle and I press a button on  
the remote to wake up the screen. And even then, it only happens a  
small percentage of the time. But when it does, it drives me bonkers!

Thanks.
