I made a script that is called when a X session start (instead of
calling mythfrontend)
The script then does:
#! /bin/bash

xset s noblank
xset s off
xset -dpms

while true; do
  /usr/bin/xwit -root -warp 1920 1080
  /usr/bin/mythfrontend --service > /dev/null
done


If mythfrontend crashes; it is restarted automatically ; forever
