In my (debian) /etc/X11/XF86Config file I have:
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier  "TVOut"
   HorizSync   31.5
   Option  "DPMS" "0"
   VertRefresh 50-70
EndSection


I hope this helps someone!  :-)

Subject: [mythtv-users] Disable screen blanking

I cannot figure out why my screen goes blank after so long. I haven't
timed the interval, but it's about 10-15 minutes. The only way I can get
the screen back is to hit a key on the keyboard... even the remote won't
do it for some reason which I don't understand either.

Anyway, I have this in my .xsession:
xset s noblank
xset s off
xset -dpms s off

I'm running Slackware current, and I editted my /etc/rc.d/rc.M to this:
# Screen blanks after 15 minutes idle time, and powers down in one hour
# if the kernel supports APM or ACPI power management:
#/bin/setterm -blank 15 -powersave powerdown -powerdown 60
/bin/setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0

What am I missing here?

Thanks.

I'd like to know the answer to this too.

I have a script which starts mythfrontend after doing "xset s off" and "xset
-dpms off" etc and despite this the screensaver always kicks in, even on
"Blank Screen Only".  If I move the mouse or presses a key it asks me to
enter a password.

In my case, I log in as a regular user and run mythfrontend and mythbackend
as root (don't ask).  Could this cause a problem?
