[mythtv-users] Do not turn off TV when exiting MythTV (no CEC)

[Charles Tardif]

Oh yeah, I did not know that.

Well, it makes sense, since my monitor seems to be responding to 
> xset dpms force off
Which does turn my monitor off.

But I'm stuck there...  I tried googling for disabling dpms in MythTV but was not successful...
I have tried inputing this in terminal before OR after launching Mythfrontend, but did not do nothing:
> xset -dpms dpms force on

Do you any idea of how to disable that thing in MythTV?

By the way, I'm using Mythtv 0.26, with Linux Mint Cinnamon 13 but I'm using the gnome 3 Shell. So the power management, I think it is the gnome 3 power management.

Cheers!

Charles
