The problem is that once this happens that pushing on the remote, mouse or keyboard (short of switching consoles) will not awaken the output to the display.  I am reasonably certain that at that point the Myth box is completely active save for the screen.

Hi Bill,

Did you ever get this fixed?  I have come across the same problem when
I upgraded from mythbuntu 7.10 to mythbuntu 8.04 overnight.  Most of
my frontends are perfectly fine, but one is having this problem.

I ssh'd in and irw is showing the lirc is recieving remote control
commands, and this is the output from xset q...
