DPMS remains in suspend mode even after hitting a remote button

[skamithi@…]

Hi,

I run DPMS on my mythtv system. When DPMS kicks in and there is no signal to my TV and I hit a button on the remote. I get no response. The screen remains blank and the LCD TV reports no signal from the PC. Signal is restored if I hit a key on the keyboard..but no change if I do it from a remote.

With the following modification, I am able to restore the picture with a touch of any remote button. If there is a better way to do it let me know.
