  Up to very recently, I could watch vcd movies on my box using xine video

  that Xv video driver had become inoperative after either upgrading
  xfree86 from version 4.1.0 to 4.2.1 using the deb package or installation
  of mplayer 0.9 from the source tarball.
 
  I'm not pretty sure which of the two packages/applications is the culprit
  as I installed both of them more or less on the same day but somehow I'm
  convinced it must be xfree86 since mplayer too does not show any pictures
  (only a blue window screen) with the Xv video driver.

 That's a problem with X itself. Most likely, the currently used graphics
 driver has a limited or broken implementation of the Xv extensions.

 What graphics driver are you using (what video card)? Ist the XVideo
 extension
 listed in xdpyinfo?

I've attached at the end of this message output from xvinfo, xdpyinfo and 
xine. I hope this will be of assistance.

 Is it a laptop?  I had a problem with my laptop where if the X server
 was started while I had video output going to an external monitor Xv
 playback would bluescreen.  If I started the X server with video to the
 builtin LCD it worked fine (even if I later plugged in the external
 monitor and redirected the video output).

Not a laptop. PIII Dell Optiplex GX10 desktop with normal 15 CRT monitor. 
I get bluescreen in the video output window only (not the whole screen) 
irrespective of whether I use mplayer or xine.
