How did you accomplish this? I just installed vlc and compiled it with
all kinds of different '--enable' settings and also started it with
different 'vlc -V xxx' option but none of them worked on my T21 with
standard RH 7.1. I constantly get the black window with some green
messed up stripes. Please post your ./configure string and also how you
start and run the binary.

PS the version I am using is: vlc-0.2.73
