That's ancient history.  With any moderately recent xine, libdvdnav is
included with xine-lib, and there is no separate NAV button.  Assuming
you have libdvdcss, all you should need to do is press the DVD button
and follow the menus.  One thing to check is to make sure you don't
have any older versions of xine laying around on your system.  If you
do, make sure to remove all traces of them.
