[solved] "xset s off" not working

I'm building a digital picture frame out of an old laptop and have a fairly minimal Arch install.

My slideshow script is:

export DISPLAY=:0
X&
xset q > xset.log1
xset -dpms
xset s off
xset q > xset.log2
sleep 3
feh -z -D 300 -N --hide-pointer -F /pictures

The slideshow runs, but after about 10 minutes, the screen blanks.  Comparing xset.log1 and xset.log2, the only difference is the key repeat rate changed... both the Screen Saver and DPMS are still enabled.

Oh, if it matters, everything's running as root, I haven't created any other accts.

Any ideas?

Interesting, it seems that using "xinit" instead of "X" solves the problem.
