I have a Mac Mini (dual-boot OS X/Kubuntu 8.04) attached to a Panasonic 52" LCD as my media center and am experiencing a weird problem. After a variable amount of time, the display goes blank while audio continues to play. It's connected via a dvi->hdmi cable.
I thought that it might be a KDE problem, so I configured XBMC to start directly, but that didn't solve the problem. I've run both svn and an install from the xbmc 8.04 repository with the same results. Oddly, OS X on the same machine runs xbmc w/o problems, so I'm thinking this is a Linux issue. Keyboard and remote keypresses don't "wake up" the display...once blank it's blank until a reboot.
Any ideas out there?
