One of the flags I use for mplayer is the -stop-xscreensaver option. Now this works fine, with the video not being interrupted by xscreensaver, and after the video the xscreensaver timer starts again and will launch in its normal period. The problem lies with the DPMS stuff...after using mplayer -stop-xscreensaver, although the screensaver comes on, it never blanks or suspends. I've bound a shortcut in my Fluxbox window manager to "xscreensaver-command -restart" and if I hit this, when xscreensaver comes on it does suspend and everything as meant to... Any ideas? I'm thinking it's possibly a bug with mplayer?
