Thanks for the quick reply. This is one of the sites that I had viewed and
tried suggestions from without immediate success. I say immediate because I
placed "xset -dpms -display :0" in every X startup file could think of
without success. However, once X is started and my application is running I
can ssh into the BBB and issue the xset command above and it works as
advertised.

Just for information I have tried placing this command in /etc/rc.local,
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc and /home/ubuntu/.xinitrc without success. I have
not tried putting a .xinitrc into root's home yet.

Might there be any suggestions as to how to script this command?

Thanks,
Dan Metcalf
