THanks for your reply. I think I wasn't clear in what I was trying to 
accomplish. I'd like to stop the mythfrontend from enabling and 
disabling DPMS. I can disable DPMS in xorg.conf or using xset -dpms but 
as soon as the mythfrontend starts up it enables DPMS and then starts 
enabling and disabling DPMS ignoring the xorg.conf settings, etc. Is 
this possible with 0.21 mythtv?
