Have you emerged totem with the xine use flag ? (Maybe try adding the xine

Onderwerp: [gentoo-ppc-user] DVD Playback in Gentoo?
I am new to gentoo so first, let me say I am lovin it. However I am
also new to a source distribution, so I may need a little leeway with
the questions I ask.
I have used now 3 different distributions, ubuntu, debian, and now
gentoo, and in all of them the same thing has happened, whenever I try
to play a dvd my screen gets a yellowish tint, my teminals that may be
open get distoted colors, (usually red) for the text in them, and it
won't play. Has anyone gotten this to work?
I have tried totem and xine in gentoo and ubuntu, and the same happens.
And one more thing. I emerged totem, and that complained about needing
the xine backend, so then I emerged xine and re-emerged totem, and it
said it was using the xine backend, but at the end of the emerge it
still said that the default backend had been changed to gstreamer, do I
need to emerge something else?

I tried what you said, put xine in my /etc/make.conf USE section, and
rebuilt totem. Unfortuanately it still used the gstreamer backend, but
it turns out changing my bit-depth from 24 to 16 in xorg.conf allowed me
to play DVD's in both Xine and Totem, though totem seems to have
problems in full screen and Xine is a bit twitchy. I don't understand
what, if any functionality is supposed to be lost due to the gstreamer
backend instead of the Xine backend, but it said something about DVD
menus, and I can use the menu on every DVD I have watched, so I am
dumbfounded by what this is reffering to.
Thanks for the help though.
