Thanks for the clue - I guess I was pretty clueless about finding the source 
on the Red Hat disk.   After a bit of configuration effort, I got the also 
drivers compiled and installed and, lo, my Sony plays CD's.  Now I want it to 
play DVD's - can't stand the fact that I can only do this on the Win ME side. 
 I've downloaded Xine 0.9.13 and its associated libraries, including the 
decryption stuff that they don't include.    When I try to play a DVD, I get 
this error:

-xine engine error-

There is no input plugin available to handle
'dvd://VIDEO_TS.VOB'.
Maybe MRL syntax is wrong or file/stream source doesn't exist.

Looking at the Xine configuration dialogs it seems that Xine doesn't know 
that libdvdcss (v. 1.2.8) is installed, and I don't see a place to set this.  
 Anybody know how I do that?  Another bit of info:  although I've been able 
to compile and install libdvdnav, I have not been able to compile the 
xine-dvdnav plugin.  

Thanks,
Vaughn
