Description Sebastian 2004-01-20 04:52:03 UTC

Hello,

I know this is really all beta what I'm using right now, but anyway. Maybe it helps the final versions of MPlayer 1.0 and XFree 4.4.0. Like I said, MPlayer says it has disabled DPMS but it really has not. DPMS switches my panel off after an off_time of 5 minutes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install MPlayer 1.0pre3 and XFree 4.4.0rc2
2. Play a movie and wait till your off_time which is chosen in XF86Config kicks in.

Actual Results:  
DPMS performs display power managment while mplayer is running.

Expected Results:  
Mplayer disables DPMS properly while playing back a movie.

Thanks!

Possibly an upstream issue, but anyway... reassigned.

Can you try the latest pre5-r4?  There was an upstream patch that was tossed
around to take care of this issue.  Either a) it's put out in pre5-r4 or b) I have
to pull the patch from upstream and apply it.

Comment 7 Sebastian 2004-11-09 01:41:38 UTC

Hello,

I don't have XFree anymore. I use Xorg since it went stable on Gentoo. And I never had DPMS issues with Xorg and mplayer.

Sorry!
