Subject: stop X from blanking the screen?

How do I stop X from blanking the screen when I'm watching
TV with FXTV?  I turned off the screen blanker in rc.conf, 
but the screen still gets blanked in X after about 5 minutes of
inactivity.  This is annoying, since I'm trying to watch TV, 
but also, sometimes I can't get the blanker to go away.
Moving the mouse, trying to switch to a different
virtual terminal, ctrl-alt-backspace to kill the X server, 
nothing wakes it up.  I've had to reset the box a couple times
because of this.  There's still sound from the TV, 
but the screen goes black, and nothing makes it go back.

any ideas?

Thanks
