[MPlayer-users] Increasing brightness via config

I've submitted TWO bug reports about this exact
problem in two different versions of mplayer and none
of the developers even acknowledged my report.  It
worked once upon a time but became broken sometime in
0.99.

mplayer no longer recognizes -brightness or -contrast
command line options until a menu key is explicitely
pressed.
