In recent weeks I also have had mplayer fail to prevent the screen from blanking after a while of playing a movie. I'm not running any screen saver, and in the years of using mplayer it's not something I recall ever having issues with. Using -stop-xscreensaver fixes it, but that was never required before. one possible explanation is that something was broken in the debian lenny xorg, which was updated in recent weeks, that prevents mplayers default method of keeping the screen on from having any effect. I seem to recall that mplayer used a mouse-jitter hack to prevent screen blanking. is that what it's still using? _______________________________________________ MPlayer-users mailing list MPlayer-users@xxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mplayerhq.hu/mailman/listinfo/mplayer-users
