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?
