This doesn't fix my problem unfortunately.  I also redirected stderr to a file to see if it gave an error, and this is what came out:

libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.8 for DVD access
xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.

Also, I am (as noted in another reply on this thread) running everything as root (started from /etc/inittab).

Any ideas?  Google searches on that xiTK didn't yield any clues for me.

Thanks,
 Brian
