I was trying to disable the screen saver for watching hulu, which I do
by launching firefox and found that myth is constantly toggling the
screen saver so it didn't do any good at all to disable it in the
startup script.  But that said, my screen does not blank during a DVD
showing and if there is any glitching, I have not noticed it.
