Thanks for the reply John. However, that didn't help. I uncommented the 4vl 
line then
did 'init 3' and 'init 5' to reload the console X session. I checked
/var/log/Xorg.0.log and saw several new 4vl entries as well as some PVR-350 
entries I
hadn't seen before.

But xine still won't run with "-V xv". A window momentarily flashes on screen 
and
then nothing.

Any other thoughts?
