[xine-user] tiny picture in top left of window; and stops after one chapter

[John@Kungfu-tse.net]

I recently installed Xine on Mandrake 9.0 on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop and it
seems just what I want.  However, I have a few problems and hope someone can
help me with them:

1   It would not play encrypted dvds even with libdvdcss installed.  I
uninstalled the Mandrake rpm and compiled xine from source and all is now well. 
In case anyone else has this trouble, I suspect the Mdk rpm does not have the
relevant plugin to read libdvdcss.

2  However, I only get a tiny (half inch square) picture in the top left of the
window, with streams of light running horizontally and vertically from it.  I
get exactly the same with Ogle. (which ran perfectly on Mandrake 8.2)

3   The film stops after chapter 1 or whatever - the slider runs along to the
end in about twenty seconds then the whole thing stops.  I had exactly the same
problem with Vlc many months ago, but cannot remember what fixed it (update, I
think)

I ran xine-check which reported no problems, and I could see no apparent
problems when I ran Xine in a terminal - apart from one which I seem to remember
from Vlc now I come to think of it:

video_overlay:overlay not present
video_overlay:MENU BUTTON DROPPED menu pts=13568 spu pts=0

This comes right at the end.  At the beginning I get 'display not using
xinerama'  - is that important?

Can anyone shed any light on this for me please?
