Thanks Gildas

vlc -l listed both x11 and xvideo extension, not to mention xmga!  I tried
vlc --xvideo but was told the module was unavailable.  vlc --plugin xvideo
listed three options, so it obviously is there.  vlc --x11 worked and the
thing fired up, but stopped very quickly with the following error:

libdvdcss error: fatal error in vts css key

Sorry to be a nuisance, but can you still help? 
I have the following /usr/lib/libdvdcss files:
libdvdcss.a - libdvdcss.so.2 - libdvdcss.so and libdvdcss.so.2.0.1, having
installed libdvdcss2 and libdvdcss2-devel.
