Hello, I've been browsing through the archives and can't seem to find anyone else that has had this problem. Here is my hardware setup related to my problem:


P4 1.7GHz
512MB RAM
Geforce 2 Video Card using VGA out
Mitsubishi WT46809 (connected with breakout cable)
Hauppauge PVR 250

I have gotten MythTV set up and running great. Recording works great with the PVR-250, I've got it running 1920x1080i and I'm working on getting Lirc running now.

My problem is that my TV doesn't want to wake up after I turn it off for an extended period of time. I leave the Myth frontend running and I turn the TV off when I'm done to prevent burn in. If I leave it off for more than a half hour when I come back to turn it on it comes on for about 5 seconds and shuts itself off. I can get it working again by unplugging the VGA from the back of the computer, turning on the TV, and then rehooking the VGA cable back to the computer. What's odd is that I can turn the TV off and back on, just not for an extended period of time.
Here's what I've tried to fix it:

Disabled screen blanking in BIOS
Set DPMS off in xorg.conf
Disabled screensaver settings in xorg.conf (ServerFlags)
"xset -dpms s off"
"setterm -powersave off"
"setterm -blank 0"
(I know, these are for console, but I'm trying everything here)

I'm at the end of my rope here, any ideas? I can post my xorg.conf if needed. Thanks in advance!

Does it come on if you press a key on the keyboard (not a key on the remote--one on the keyboard) or wiggle the mouse? Did you turn off xscreensaver (the application, it sounds like you've set BlankTime, StandbyTime, SuspendTime, and OffTime in ServerFlags)?
