Greetings all;
I have a need to  disable dpms and anything else associated with blanking 
the screen, sometime for around 12 hours.

Our old friend xset has apparently been neutered and incapable to 
controlling any of this.

So what is silently overriding these user set choices, something in TDE?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
