Maybe check the different versions of xine, xine-lib, etc. > EnJaeLove[westk]:/home/westk> xine > This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.9.2 ^^^^^^^^ <...> > Built with xine library 0.9.2 [Wed 17 Oct 2001 00:42:31]-[gcc version 2.95.4 ^^^^^ <...> > Found xine library version: 0.9.4 (0.9.4). ^^^^^ Try to upgrade xine to 0.9.4 Free tip: xine-lib-d4d (for viewing DVDs) <0.9.4 doesn't work well with recent 2.4 kernels (recent is >= 2.4.10). The 0.9.6 works fine here, and the 0.9.5 should also work fine. HTH, Romain -- Most of our lives are about proving something, either to ourselves or to someone else.
