      I am having a issue where once we are not active on the machine for 10 minutes the screen turns black and you have to hit a key on the keyboard to wake it. Its fine during game play just when you stop you cannot get it back without hitting a key on the keyboard.

      I have tried lots and lots of stuff to fix this. Running Ubuntu 14.04 I have:

      1. in boot.ini added: setenv condev "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 consoleblank=0"
      2. sudo nano /etc/kbd/config then commented out: BLANK_TIME & POWERDOWN_TIME
      3. etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc commented out #exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp "$@" and added exec /usr/bin/X -s 0 dpms -nolisten tcp "$@"
      4. /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart added
        #@xscreensaver -no-splash
        @xset s off
        @xset -dpms
        @xset s noblan
      5. sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf (this created the file, it was not there) then added
        [SeatDefault]
        xserver-command=X -s 0 dpms

      Out of ideas :)
