I think I am getting somewhere now. I didn't have much time to look at this
last night as I was helping someone else with their computer. I looked at
the ~/.xine/config file and if I read it correctly, it is using SXhm. (I
don't know what the really means, but it's in the faq.) I tried to use Xv
by typing:
xine -V Xv
It gave a message saying that it could not load the library for Xv and
terminated. I looked in /usr/X11R6/lib/ and found both libXv.a and
libXv.so.
I was confused to find different copies of XF86Config. I thought that the
one that was used was /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config. There was also
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and /etc/X11/XF86Config. These were all created when
I installed RH 7.2 It looks to me like there are several drivers listed. I
don't know which is in use. I really appreciate your help.
Here is part of my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config that may be relevant:
