greetings,

using:
CentOS 6.7 current
KDE 4.3.4
VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower


for several months, when vlc closes after play a video, screen is blanked.

this happens for _any_ type video.

only way to stop blanking is via;

 System Settings > Display > Power Control

then;

 [X] Enable display power management

click [Apply] button, then;

 [ ] Enable display power management

click [Apply] button.


anyone else see this or know of solution?
