vlc 0.2.90 and libdvdcss 0-0.0.3-1  installs and runs but won't play a 
dvd for me.
My system is an i686 RedHat linux 7.1 plus latest fixes (2.4.9-6 kernel, 
glibc-2.2.4-19, esound-0.2.22-1)
Started vlc:
  vlc -a esd -V sdl -vvvv
Clicked the Disk button and click OK for /dev/dvd which does work with 
an older dvd player (omi/oms).
The dvd drive is accessed.
I sometimes see the ui change very briefly to include some kind of 
slider or progress indicator, but it goes away immediately.
Never see any video or hear any audio.
No core dump.
No error message.

Any suggestions?
