THis certainly has improvements: I can now view dvd using -V x11.
However -V sdl and -V xvideo still shows plain blue windows.

This is my third post to the list. From the first two I never saw
any replies while I do see mucho replies to other posts. So I wonder
if my post get through (at least I do get them back to my own mail
account). 
Sam: could you please acknowledge that you saw this one...
For reference I added my previous post below.

Thanks 

-Marcel
