How to do this depends on how you installed xine in the first place. If you 
did it through your distro's package management system, for example, use 
that system's facility to do it. Tell us how you installed xine and someone 
will suggest how to uninstall, then reinstall it.

But if your problems stem from a change in video card, reinstalling xine is 
not likely to be your solution. It's more likely that the new video card's 
X driver is not useing the xVideo (xv) extensions properly. See if "xine -V 
xshm somefile" gives you better results. If it does, then either run it 
that way (if your CPU is up to it) or then go on to figure out why your X 
driver isn't making xVideo available.,
