restarting MCE takes care of the blanking issue after each restart here. Just need to pop into the display settings afterwards to set the dim and blank times afterwards.
#!/bin/sh /etc/init.d/mce restart sleep 2 restore_value() { gconftool-2 --type $1 --set $2 `gconftool-2 --get $2` } restore_value /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout restore_value /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/brightness_period restore_value /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout restore_value /apps/osso/applet/osso-applet-display/turn_off_display
