It's not only on Woody that this happens, nor is it anything to do with
KDE.
Some months ago I had xine and vlc working perfectly. Then I had to do a
reinstall and I am now using unstable, no KDE. This is on a Thinkpad
R50e, kernel 2.6.14.2, Xorg.
Xine shows lots of dropped frames and the display is jerky. Ogle runs
smoothly but the display is distorted vertically and attempts to correct
this via .oglerc make no difference at all.
I've tried to install vlc from the deb package but this has unmet
dependencies. I have tried to compie vlc and mplayer from source but
without success.
I'm therefore stuck. If anyone knows how to correct the distortion in
ogle I'd be interested.
I do wonder if using Xorg instead of Xfree86 has anything to do with it.
