Hi Jim,

  Looking at the source, there is no direct way to do this.  I've put
together a patch which I think will solve it; this is attached.  Since I
am not a core xine developer, I'm not sure exactly how things should
work, but I think it is ok.

  Apply the patch to xine-lib-1-beta4, recompile, install and run.
If you set the xine config mode to "expert", you should see an XVideo
port option in the video tab of the config window.  You'll need to
restart xine for the changes to take effect.

  Hope this helps,

    Regards,

      Mark Thomas.
