Disabling XOrg Standby, Suspend, and Sleep Mode
While wanting to watch Hulu on the computer connected to my TV I ran into the issue where every 5 minutes the TV would go into sleep mode. I was not able to find anything in KDE to prevent this from happening.
I did find a command that would allow you to set this option until XOrg was restarted.
xset q
