[mythtv-users] Disable dpms in mythbuntu 8.10

[Al McIntosh]

What a nuisance, the window manager used ignores the xorg settings and xset
configurations.

I had to:
1. Exit mythfrontend
2. Right click on the desktop, choose settings.
3. Select screen saver
    - Disable screen blanking
    - Enter power settings and slide all of the sliders to the far right so
they said *never*.

This appears to have stopped the screen from blanking...

Thanks...
