It certainly worked for me with Mepis 6.5.  Thank you for that information.

It plays everything I've tried on it, but somehow I've managed to end
up without the hue and saturation controls.  Contrast and brightness
work fine, but the sliders for hue and saturation have nothing to
move.  I noticed in my searching that some people had a problem with
the brightness but that had something to do with MythTV.  Am I correct
in thinking that would have nothing to do with using DVDs, or is there
a relationship?

I looked through the Xine wiki but I can't think of how I could search
for such information.  It could be a problem with the UI, but it could
be that there's nothing behind the UI to operate on.  I've installed
all the packages I can find to do with skins.

Ideas on how I should search would be a good alternative to more
direct information.

TIA
