OK, after having decided that RH8.0's xv extensions are the probable source of trouble, I moved my /usr/local partition's content to /usr/local on the /usr partition, and installed a barebones RH7.3 on the freed partition (1GB).
Xine now plays the dvds beautifully. Of course, dual booting is not the world's best way of playing dvds (I could even have used windows' player, if dual booting was an ok performance -- forget it, I have dvds from outside my region), so I'd like to confirm the source of trouble and either fix it or file a bug report. What package is responsible for the xv extensions? How do I confirm that the xv extensions are the culprit? What other candidates are out there (libdvdcss, libdvdread,... Remember, the RH8.0 packages are linked against gcc3.2, and could have been wrongly reengineered, even as the gcc2.95 packeges are great)? Anybody else had a similar problem on RH8.0 (basically bad display of images, showing only half the image, merged with another copy of same half image to produce a whole image mess together, in windows using xv extensions)?
