 When mythfrontend is left alone long enough for DPMS to suspend the
 monitor, a keyboard or mouse event is required to wake it up.

 I've looked through trac and the code; it appears that although LIRC
 events are processed as keypress events, the injection occurs at the Qt
 layer while the DPMS event is generated by X.

 There do appear to be TRAC entries related to this issue; nevertheless it
 still occurs. I have not investigated too deeply, but this issue could be
 masked when lircmd is in use.

 I will attach a patch to inject a screensaver reset event when a native
 LIRC event is processed.

 This is only relevant on installations using a DPMS-compatible output
 device (VGA,DVI,HDMI).
