vlc-0.2.80 and Linux 2.2.x kernels

[Bill Piety]

Yep - I'm using 0.2.80 with the original RH7 kernel. I had compiled the SDL
rpm from source before compiling the prior vlc 0.2.73. Did nothing at all
than d/l vlc 0.2.80, compile & install. I need no parameters at all - the
default is SDL. Playback is fine, but then so was 0.2.73.

Hi,

does anybody have any success to get vlc-0.2.80
running on Linux systems with 2.2.x kernels?
I still cannot figure out what is broken, but
I cannot anymore play DVDs with 'xvideo' or 'SDL'
video output. I know that sse is not supported in
the 2.2.x kernel series, but even using
    vlc --imdct imdct --downmix downmix
does not seem to help. Strangely,
    vlc --vout x11 --imdct imdct --downmix downmix
works, but 'xvideo' or 'SDL' have much better performance
and worked extremely well for me in the 0.2.73 release.
