I've attached an extra debugging patch which will print the DPMS status after DPMS is Deactivated.

Hmm.. I applied the patch and now I don't see the issue at all! Perhaps it is the patch or perhaps its playing with -v playback

(In [19842]) Fixes #6162. Fixes #6180. XSync after all critial X11 calls in screensaver code.
The DPMS blanking problem went away for Damian when in the debugging patch that called DPMSInfo() after setting the DPMS state.. this was because the query forced X11 to sync. Adding XSync's alone was confirmed to work by jrigg.
(In [19829]) Refs #6180. Refs #6162. Adds -v playback debugging to screensaver code.
If you are having problems with the screensaver/dpms please set the timeouts low and run mythfrontend with -v playback and report when the screensaver or dpms standby turns on, and which one is turning on.
