Hello, <quote who="Ivan Kalvachev">
Seconded. BTW, the XReset* would work only on the screensaver, not dpms.
Hmm, which version of Xorg do you have? I've tested it and it works with newest Ubuntu Xorg and DPMS.
Reimar, I'm against KDE removal and exactly because there are KDE versions that doesn't honor XSS. However I think that it should only be triggered by command line (aka -stop-screensaver=kde/gnome/xscreensaver ).
It seems to be some user config option - which command to execute to disable screen saver instead inner mplayer code. If configured mplayer will just use it (stop-screensaver-cmd=command_to_execute).
I won't mind if all this crap is removed if we commit the event generator (mouse movement etc...).
Event generator is not that bad solution but you have to use additional X-server extensions to generate fake key events for example.
One more remark, xscreensaver seems to honor XSS extension if available (it even have workarounds for quite many history bugs in it).
