Sorry to reply to my own post, but here's an example

ffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffff
bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell

If you follow closely along, I manually disable dpms
using xset -dpms, and try to play the movie, but then
it automatically enables despite the command not to do
it. Somewhere I read that it was a bug in Xorg, but I
could not find it.
Thank you for your help/advice,
Antonio
