What color depth are you running X in? I recall having severe problems playing any sort of video in 24-bit color, so then I changed to 16-bit and I have no problems. I do notice that when playing most videos the colors of my desktop background get messed up, but I consider that a trivial problem and ignore it. (In a couple of hours the background changes, anyway.) If you run "xine --verbose dvd://" in a command window, do you get any helpful information about what it's doing or where it quits? -- // Carl Hudkins :: Jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] :: PGP 50238D9E // // ==] What would Jeeves do?
