That simply means xine doesn't find any previously saved playlist, which
is not really an error unless you have already saved a playlist...

Well, generally, I'd recommend an upgrade to XFree4, as long as your
video card is supported there. This usually gives some performance
improvements. If Xv is supported with your driver, even much performance
and full screen display at no additional cost...

Sorry, don't know that card. Anybody else?

Okay, this obviously is a problem: you're using SuSe ... well, though I
don't like them, there should still be some way to get things running.

If video goes out of sync when playing something with xine, this is your
problem. Otherwise: very unlikely!

Could you please make a complete bug report if it still doesn't work?
The file "bug_report_form" in xine's source directory should guide you
through...
(it's just difficult to analyse bugs when you have to collect all
information in little pieces ;)
