Good point, just checked and all power saving related features are
disabled. Except the following:
Video Off Method = DPMS Support
Description: This field defines "video off" features. The DPMS
support option permits the BIOS to control the video display if it
supports the DPMS feature. Blank Screen option blanks the screen; use
blank screen option for monitors without power management of "green"
features. V/H SYNC+Blank blanks the screen and turns off vertical and
horizontal scanning.
However, all 3 options seem to want to cause some kind of blanking and
I can't remember changing this option recently, but since my FC2
upgrade this behaviour seems to be occuring.
Does anyone else have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Mobo or at least an
AwardBIOS with this feature?

Guys,
Help please. I've followed Jarod's settings to ensure the
screen-saver doesn't kick-in, so rc.local contains the following
lines. I've also entered them in xterm to ensure they are definately
loaded.
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset s off
I've also double checked my screen-saver settings to ensure it's not
enabled, but I'm still getting a blank screen every 20-30 minutes
which can be reactivated by pressing a remote key, but then I'm also
seeing the screen totally blank such that the TV thinks the input
signal is lost and pops up the channel id on screen.
This latter behaviour requires me to press a keyboard key to
reactivate the display and occurs usually 40-60 minute into viewing.
Note, this seems to occur regardless of what I'm doing through Myth
(DVD, TV, Music, ...).
Any ideas anyone please, the WAF is getting killed on this one.
Do you have screen blanking enabled in your BIOS?
Kevin

You can also completely turn DPMS off in your xorg.conf/XF86Config
file. You will probably find an entry that says Option "DPMS". Just
comment that out, I think.
