Well, I'm going nuts here. Whenever I play something after about 10 minutes the screen will turn off until I press a button (any button) on the remote. This is in TV+Videos.

I have turned off the blank screen + turn of monitor options in configuration.

DX exclusive mode is turned off too, since when I turn it on I have another problem with the mouse appearing on the center of the screen everytime a video ends, and it won't dissapear. However in dx-exclusive mode, the screen doesn't turn off.

So I have two options:
- Press some button every five minutes and hope I'm not too late or miss some scenes (Exclusive mode off)
- get up from the chair whenever I start something new and manually move the mouse off screen (Exclusive mode on)

I've had this for a few weeks now (many diff. svn versions) and its starting to drive me nuts. Currently I'm using SVN from 28.01.

Any tips appreciated.

Hmmm.....your right....I did check the screensaver which was set to blank and disabled that but haven't looked at the monitor settings. I'll check this first thing when I get home.

Thnx for pointing out the obvious

I feel so stupid.....
