</div>Well there must be a way, because it's working for me.<br>
<br>
I'm using a Nvidia based Zotac ION frontend, connected over HDMI to an<br>
LG television.<br>
<br>
If I leave MythTV on a menu then, after a while the screen goes blank.<br>
A short while later the TV screen save kicks in and a short while<br>
after that the TV turns off.<br>
<br>
The bad news is that I can't think of anything special that I did to<br>
make this happen. (I use gdm to autologin the mythtv user with a<br>
ratpoison window manager, and start the frontend). I haven't changed<br>
any screensaver settings from their defaults, as far as I know (which<br>
I think means that mythtv is controlling the screensaver using DPMS)<br></blockquote></div><br>The original poster is using a Sony Bravia TV and you are using an LG television so maybe the difference is the Sony won't respond DPMS over HDMI. Just a thought.<br>
