Hello folks,
I'm having a strange issue with a computer I use as a media center. XFCE4 running on Arch. Everything works great except for the fact that the monitor turns off at random. It's not frequent, but once every 10-20 minutes it will happen. Now the weird thing is that the video playback continues, when I move the mouse the monitor wakes up and the video has been playing.
I even tried power settings where nothing ever turns off, but it doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas or similar problems?

I can think of 2 options.
One is the screensaver...
The other is your dpms settings. I have in my ~/.xresources file
xset -dpms s off &to turn it off.
