Hmmm, maybe you want to upgrade (or totally change) your distro?

This looks okay so far. What does "ll xinetic" say here?

Totally unrelated, but maybe you should follow xine-check's advice here
and enable DMA for the DVD drive...

Apart from that, everythink looks okay, and it _should_ work.
Did you install from RPMs? If so, you might want to try installing from
source (and maybe try 0.9.10).

Maybe just removing your ~/.xine directory could help.
