Mplayer doesnt disable DPMS when playing movies


Mplayer is not disabling my screensaver when a movie is playing anymore. I cant pinpoint where this problem started as I got myself a new system so I dont know what I am missing this time around.

First I looked at the compile of Mplayer:

Code:
Checking for X11 ... yes
Checking for DPMS ... yes (using Xdpms 4)
Checking for Xv ... yes
So DPMS is compiled in. I run an xset q and sure enough DPMS is enabled and functioning properly so I dont know why Mplayer isnt stopping it anymore. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated because I have thought of everything and my kernel config is the same as before save some changed for me new AMD64. Everything is still running under x86 and I have recompiled Mplayer countless of times with no fix to my problem. I have checked this behaviour in X as well as my native KDE environment...all the same.

I am using the latest version of Mplayer and have the proper "Options" entered into xorg.conf even, nothing helps...but its annoying to have to get up and tap my mouse during movies.

As you can see by the output of Mplayer, no DPMS is shown:
