Guys,
Not sure about other distros but xine is purposely "broken" in SuSE
so as to not be able to play DVD's. Legal issues. You can get around
that by installing xine from packman or suser-jmorris in the apt
repository. It's an easy fix and DVD's play just fine here. I'm sure
that a little googling would find it for other distros.
