In my case, the problem was that I used the --stdctl (sp?) option. Since I did not start it from a terminal, there simply was no terminal from where to accept commands, but xine just kept trying to find one. Problem was solved by removing the option, but as a downside, now xine shows the mouse cursor for a few seconds every time the picture size changes. yours, Jouni -- http://www.tkk.fi/%7ekex
