I have rebuilt my kernel and managed the modules as you have suggested and
I find that DVD playback is indeed good - so I am not sure what the
difference was but it may well have been the modules used for the dvd.
When I insert a DVD and it attempts to autoplay in gxine or select play
from the mount tab in the panel, gxine generates the error:
The xine engine failed to start.
No demuxer found - stream format not recognised.
However (as mentioned elsewhere on the web) if I select DVD from the file
menu it plays! Annoyance not show stopper.
I have already looked hard at my uses for gxine etc - to no avail;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ equery uses gxine
[ Searching for packages matching gxine... ]
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ]
[ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed

[ Found these USE variables for media-video/gxine-0.5.7 ]
U I
- - lirc : Adds support for lirc (Linux's Infra-Red Remote Control)

utilities)

you to stretch your display across multiple monitors
