Linux DVD

I finally got a dvd-rom drive, and want to play them under Linux. I hear xine can do it, but I've been messing around with it all day and I cant get it to work...I've been reading around xine.sf.net and dvd.sf.net but cant find anything helpful. Can anyone whos got it workin point me in the right direction? thanks.
 
What distro do you have?

I have Xine running just fine under Mandrake 8.2, but I was able to find some RPM's that were easy to install and did the trick.

 
I'm running slackware 8.1...i downloaded a bunch of stuff ( libdvdcss, libdvdread, libdvdnav, xine-dvdnav ) but I still cant get it to work. I tried ogle too but it dont work there either. I'll try mplayer
 
I got MPlayer working, is there any way to use 5.1 surround with it? I'm using an audigy running the drivers from emu10k1.sf.net.
 
Got mplayer to work with all speakers, via the -channels 6 option. Also got xine working with menus, 5.1 and all. I had to use older versions of libdvdcss (0.0.3 i think it was) and lib dvdread(0.90 i believe). I guess using the latest versions of everything isnt always the way to go. It plays so much nicer than it does in win xp with powerdvd. I can multitask without the dvd skipping, and dont get the audio popping like I do in XP. Now I just need to figure out if theres any way to have dts playback under linux... Another side effect of using the older versions of those libraries is that dvd::rip works flawlessly now too. (it didnt used to work on encrypted dvds)
