Description Petr Morávek 2009-10-05 21:30:06 UTC

After upgrading to xorg-server-1.6 mplayer's option stop-xscreensaver doesn't work any more, so the screensaver comes up.
Using:
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090731
x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2 
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.60
x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.08-r2
kde-base/kscreensaver-3.5.10

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Same here

x11-base/xorg-server-1.6.5
media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20090919-r2
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.40
x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.1.0
x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.1.3

Emerging and enabling acpid fixed this problem for me.

S.

Comment 3 Druggo Yang 2009-11-28 11:14:42 UTC

upgrade xscreensaver to the latest version(5.10) should fix it.

another quick solution is add a '&' to the heartbeat-cmd:
heartbeat-cmd="xscreensaver-command -deactivate &"

Comment 4 Petr Morávek 2009-11-28 11:40:34 UTC

Neither upgrade of xscreensaver, nor the heartbeat-cmd works for me.
With heartbeat-cmd in config, I get in console output repeatingly this line:

xscreensaver-command: no screensaver is running on display :0.00 0

Comment 5 Sergey Kondakov 2010-01-05 23:19:36 UTC

same here with

media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091124-r1
x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.3.902
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-190.53
x11-proto/scrnsaverproto-1.2.0
x11-libs/libXScrnSaver-1.2.0
x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.10
kde-base/kscreensaver-3.5.10

acpid is running

Comment 6 Petr Morávek 2010-01-06 21:01:44 UTC

Just wandering... does anyone experience this issue and not using kde-base/kscreensaver:3.5? Maybe it's the combination of kscreensaver:3.5 and some "latest" (since xorg-server-1.6 went stable) upgrade.

Comment 7 Petr Morávek 2010-07-01 08:52:55 UTC

It works again with latest stable versions (I guess it was something in xorg-server or related packages).
