YIKES!

I've run Xine, and I never saw those messages

So, here goes, Ms. Trouble-Shooter...

First Question: Did your system ever run another OS (operating System), and if so, was it Windows, and if so, did your system ever play DVD's in that Operating System???

Second Question: What video card do you have? ( manufacturer, model, memory, and does it have "acceleration" - either 3D or video support? )

Third Question: (final one) -=- Does the video card show up in Info Center ( KMenu ---> System ---> Info Center ) under the video card, or is it using a "generic" video card configuration?

From the output of Xine, it appears that it can't find acceleration for playing a DVD, on your video card - i.e. it may not be able to handle the "needed" Frames Per Second that is required for proper displaying of the video. It also appears that it is having a heck of a time even finding the video it needs for this output... Another thought is, do you have DMA enabled on your DVD device????

Start up a ROOT Konsole - either click on the little monitor with a shell in front of it, the icon runs along the bottom of your screen (desktop) - and do the following:

Code:
cuddles@Morpheus:~$ su
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles# hdparm -d /dev/hdc

/dev/hdc:
 using_dma    =  0 (off)
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles#
You need to determine what your DVD device is as a /dev/hdX designation... You can do a dmesg at the root prompt screen above, look near the top, here is what mine would look like:

Code:
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles# dmesg
Linux version 2.6.6 (root@Knoppix) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #2 SMP Fri May 14 20:38:30 CEST 2004

...
Note that my DVD is on hdb which is /dev/hdb...

my hdparm command would look like this:

Code:
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles# hdparm -d /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
 using_dma    =  0 (off)
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles#
If your DVD device is NOT using DMA, you enable it by doing the following:

Code:
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles# hdparm -d1 /dev/hdb
and disable it by doing the following:

Code:
root@Morpheus:/home/cuddles# hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb
Note that that is a ZERO after the -d not a letter O - its a "binary" thing, ZERO equals off, ONE equals on...

When your done using root, just type exit to exit login of root, and another exit will close your Konsole window (screen)

Hope this helps,
Ms. Cuddles
