[MPlayer-dev-eng] [patch] dpms issue with newer xscreensaver

[Jindrich Makovicka]

Hello,

newer versions od XScreensaver now come with a brand new (mis)feature. 
XScreensaver now also takes care of the DPMS setting in xfree, and 
periodically checks the DPMS status, reverting it to the state which is 
set in the XScreensaver configuration file. This is done regardless of 
pinging or not pinging it. For mplayer it means that if DMPS is set to 
ON in xscreensaver, which is reasonable, after a few minutes of movie 
playing, temporarily disabled DPMS is re-enabled and eventually the 
screen goes black in the middle of a movie.

Probably the simplest solution is to add another call of DPMSdisable to 
ping_xscreensaver function (see the patch).

Regards,
