If I finish watching something on XBMC, then go and watch something on another of the TV's inputs, eg: live TV, then later come back to XBMC to watch something else, the screen is black and stays that way until I forcibly restart XBMC (and the whole X session: it's set up as xbmc-standalone, so I need to log in with ssh and restart with sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart).
How can I get it so it won't do that?
I suspect the problem is the "Enable power saving when idle" setting in Screensaver, which was on. I've turned it off, and I'll report back myself later if that's all I needed to do. Opinions welcome on whether that's the right thing to do when connected to a TV. :-) But I'd have thought when the user interface is activated again (I know it was, I could hear its sound effects as I tapped on the iphone remote) it should know to wake up out of screen power saving.
