I decided to upgrade to 14.04 and turns out that in the course of
doing so the problem was fixed.<br>

<div class="h5">You can try running the command: <br>
<br>
xset -dpms <br>
<br>
make sure to turn it back on after you are done
watching your movie with: <br>
<br>
xset +dpms <br>
<br>
You can check the status of dpms with: <br>
<br>
xset -q <br>
<br>
DPMS being turned off will keep the system from
turning off the monitor after a period of time, but
it won't keep a screen saver from coming on. <br>
<br>
You can also change the time limits before things
occur, so you can set it for longer than 2 hours to
keep it from kicking in during movies but still have
it shut off the monitor after a very long period of
"no use". <br>
<br>
The reason I found this command is that some video
players seem to turn off DPMS but if they crash
during play they don't turn it back on so my
monitors were staying on all night. <br>
<br>
As a result I created an icon that not only turns
DPMS (back) on, it also tells the system to
instantly put the monitors into sleep mode. <br>

It doesn't count me <br>
watching a movie as activity. So I have to
remember every few minutes <br>
to move the mouse. Until I get this kded thing
fixed, does anyone know <br>
another way to stop this beast from turning off
the monitor? <br>
