How did you install it. If you went to the xine site and downloaded the
appropriate tarballs you should be able to play DVDs. 
My old laptop used to run 9.2 and was able to play movies using xine.
Most of the time, the tarballs install in /usr/locl/bin
and /usr/local/lib, but the SuSE RPMs install in /usr/bin /usr/lib. So,
you might be actually running the old version of xine.
