You need to know what is the correct device name of your dvd drive and 
then make a link to it,  check it out by using the Main menu->System 
Tools->Hardware Browser->CD rom drives, highlite the dvd drive, and look 
at below- Device information, you will see the device name of the dvd 
drive (Example /dev/scd0, be aware of this because different machine can 
probe your physical dvd drive as different device and yours may be 
detected such as /dev/hdc, so you must know what exactly you physical 
dvd drive is detected as). Now go to command line (Main menu->System 
tools->Terminal), and use the command " ln -s /dev/scd0     /dev/dvd", 
this will make a link to dvd device which was not there by default.By 
now,  if you have installed the MPlayer (correctly), then you can fire 
it up to play dvd. I belive same will work for xine.
