This has to do with infra-red remote controls.  If you don't have one, then
don't worry about this error message.

I don't have any issues playing movies full screen in gxine 0.5.4.  I'm
using sid, how about you?  Could you post the version of all of gxine's

hardware, X config file), and maybe we can help.
