Several things to check:

	1.  Are you set up to use Xv (check with xvinfo and/or xine-check).

	2.  Do you have XFree86-devel installed on your system
	    (check with "rpm -q XFree86-devel").  If not you will
	    need to do a "yum install XFree86-devel" and then
	    rebuild xine-lib/xine-ui (yum is for YDL 3.0 and assumes
	    you have upgraded the /etc/yum.conf file from the YDL
	    web site).

	3.  Run "xine -V xshm" to use Xshm instead of Xv to check
	    out if xine is basically working.  This is much slower
	    than Xv and is not the desired way of running xine but
	    it is a good diagnostic check.  Note this is a sticky
	    setting, so when you want to go back to using Xv, you
	    have to once run "xine -V xv".

I hope this helps.
