I went through a whole host of permutations of the rpms from freshrpms 
(http://enigma.freshrpms.net/). I found I could get different players doing 
useful things with different versions of the underlying libdvd* rpms. The 
combination I found which worked best for me was

ogle-0.8.1-fr2.i686.rpm
ogle_gui-0.7.5-fr2.i386.rpm
libdvdcss-0.0.3-fr1.i386.rpm 
libdvdread-0.9.2-fr1.i686.rpm  

This will play most of the DVDs I've tried. I couldn't get xine to work at 
all (this was up to version 0.9.6) and vlc would only work with a later 
version of libdvdcss, which would then break ogle.

This is on compaq armada m700.

Did on mine too - I created a symbolic link to /dev/dvd

Chris
