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?
