I get the impression that sometimes mplayer disables

crashes, which happens occasionally).
What commands could I run (other than "reboot") to
setup the power saver modes again when I notice the
monitor hasn't shut itself off for half a day?
Is the "xset" command the only one I'd need, or
are there 47 different helpful subsystems involved
each one of which needs to be individually reset? :-).
xset is all you'll need.
FWIW, for various personal reasons I use different power saver settings at
different times. So, I simply wrote a script to do what I want and created
several desktop icons to call the script.
