I added this to my rc.local so it will set it each time, thanks.

Via a monitor mplayer, xine and ogle all look great.  Sound
doesn't get out of sync with mplayer.  I've used the following
commands to test both from the 350 and from the monitor:

ogle -u cli /dev/dvd
mplayer dvd:// -fs -zoom -vo x11 
xine -f -I -V xshm --audio-driver alsa --no-logo --no-splash dvd:// 

I've tried various settings on mplayer and xine (still messing with
Xine a bit as I've not used it as much).  With mplayer I've tried
-ao oss etc, -ni, and of course framedrop, which helps but then you 
get dropped frames.
