I'm running Woody with kernel 2.4.9 on my desktop,
with a Matrox video card. I changed my sources.list to
unstable and did a apt-get install xine-ui. Works
great using the Xv video driver and the oss audio
driver. I have watched a few .avi movies with it and
full screen is clear as a picture.
Just my two cents worth.
