Mplayer has an irritating habit of somehow disabling the monitor's powersave, so my monitor stays on all the time after an mplayer session. So far, the only solution I've found is to ctrl-alt-backspace to restart X, which seems pretty extreme to me.
Does anyone know of any way to either prevent mplayer from screwing up the powersave settings, or to reinstate those settings in a manner less extreme than restarting X?
Standard Advisory: Explore the options of all software you use! MPlayer -> Preferences (wrench icon of floating player control window or context menu on control or video windows) --> Misc ---> Stop XScreenSaver It's off by default on mine.
