Hmmm, I'm afraud this already looks like either your hardware or at least
your kernel/X Server setup is broken.
A user space application such as xine must not be able to interfer with
the interrupt handlers that manage your mouse or even the Num Lock key...
If it helps debugging, you can try "xine -V none" to start xine without
video output. My guess is that won't crash your machine.
If that's true, something about the XShm extension is probably causing the
crash...
you could also try "(unset DISPLAY; aaxine)" or just run "aaxine" from a
text console to verify that the xine engine works fine if you don't use X
at all.
Cheers,
Siggi
