    I just added kaffeine to SuSE 10.2 on a T60 ThinkPad.  The 
instructions on http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ seemed to 
work fine.  As the web site explains, some of the dependencies have 
been truncated by including the necessary functions in xine.

    I think I needed:
	kaffeine-0.8.3-0.pm.1.i686.rpm
	libdvdcss-1.2.8-2.network.i386.rpm
	lame-3.97-1.i586.rpm
	libxine1-1.1.4-061204.i686.rpm
	w32codec-0.52-1.i386.rpm

    That seems to be all that was required.  Movies look great!
