Xine doesn't use libdvdcss all by itself, the standard DVD plugin is 
totally incapable of using any CSS decryption. Libdvdcss is the one 
that's used (along with libdvdread) by the dvdnav plugin (dvd.sf.net) 
which provides fairly complete menu support for Xine.

You might also want to try the d4d or dmd plugins, both of which seem to 
work for different people (and both of which work for me). There are 
lots of links on the front page of the Xine website. d4d is also quite 
easy to install as it is self-contained - I believe dmd is too, although 
my recollection of the installation process is quite hazy (which means 
it can't have gone badly, else I'd've remembered it).

Good luck and enjoy...
