A shout out to TommyLight
To stop the blanking of the screen by "dpms" and have it loaded on boot Tommy gave me the answer.
Well it looks like I had the answer all along but placed the command in the wrong place in the file.
I put xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf but I didn't go far enough down
the file. I put it under the first instance of # Seat defaults and not below under [SeatDefaults].
With it now under the correct header xset -q shows "DPMS is Disabled"
Thanks Tommy, OT-CNC, AndyPugh, and PCW
Jim
