If I try to run xine from the menu in KDE, it briefly opens then closes.
Looking around in Google, the only answer I can seem to find is to type xine -A alsa but I still get the same thing.
This is the message I get when I try to run xine from command prompt:
Code:
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.6.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 138 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)
Minor opcode of failed request: 66 ()
Serial number of failed request: 2178
Current serial number in output stream: 2178
If this helps any, my computer is a Toshiba Satellite L750D and I'm running Fedora-64bit version 15.
Also xine-check shows this:

[ good ] you're using Linux, doing specific tests
[ good ] looks like you have a /proc filesystem mounted.
[ good ] You seem to have a reasonable kernel version (2.6.41.4-1.fc15.x86_64)
[ good ] intel compatible processor, checking MTRR support
[ good ] you have MTRR support and there are some ranges set.
[ good ] found the player at /usr/bin/xine
[ good ] /usr/bin/xine is in your PATH
[OUCH!!] no libxine.pc on this machine.
This means that xine-lib is either not installed
or it is installed in a very unusual place.
So you should probably install xine-lib before running xine-check...

[ hint ] unable to determine plugin directory
I could not determine your plugin directory. That would be much easier
if you had libxine.pc installed (see message above)...
Note that I could not check your xine plugins.

[ good ] /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr0
[ good ] /dev/dvd points to /dev/sr0
[ hint ] Your DVD drive seems not to be attached via ATAPI.
This might be due to the use of an ide-scsi emulation.
If you really have a SCSI DVD drive, your SCSI controller is likely
to do perfect DMA, so there's no reason to worry about this.
However, if you're using ide-scsi, there is a chance that DMA is
disabled for the DVD drive. Moreover, I don't know how to enable
DMA in that case, so you probably have to live with some performance
loss. (FIXME: check for /proc/ide, provide solution)

[ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2
[ hint ] Your X server doesn't support YV12 overlays.
That means xine will have to do color space transformation and scaling
in software, which is quite CPU intensive. Maybe upgrading your
X server will help here.
If you have an ATI card, you'll find accelerated X servers on

XVideo is an X server extension introduced by XFree86 4.x. This
extension provides access to hardware accelerated color space
conversion and scaling, which gives a great performance boost.
If you have a fast (>1GHz) machine, you may be able to watch all
kinds of video, anyway. You will waste lots of CPU cycles, though...

According to the software management, the libxine is installed. It sounds like the path may be incorrect or something.
I am able to play DVDs with VLC, but it's nice to have a player that isn't interrupted by the screensaver and power save features without having to have to remember to turn them off whenever I want to watch a movie. Plus xine has a nicer controls.
now I may be wrong so just come back and redo it if it doesn't work....however there is still something wrong with your current symlink.
mine points to a file....yours points to a folder.
Now I am guessing that xine is a true 32 app and is looking for /usr/lib/libxine (a 32 bit folder)
now on my system I don't use xine per se...I use VLC but to see what my xine is looking for....inside the executable...YMMV I did this

and you can see that........libxine.so.1 at the top
so try this....assuming /usr/bin structure
cat /usr/bin/xine | strings
and see what its looking for....in case our symlink is a red herring?
ok, now I'm really baffled. I thought that it couldn't hurt to uninstall everything xine using the software manager, then reinstall it all, but now the system won't even boot up past the bars at the bottom of the screen with the fedora text at the bottom just before the login screen.
I can't even understand why doing that would cause this to happen
Cool, I didn't know yum had an undo opton. Unfortunetly it's too late I went and downloaded fedora 16, but the wierd thing is that when I do the updates, I get a blank screen at the login screen, which I will be posting in another thread if I can't find it posted anywhere.
