Works OK on my system (PII-400, 380MB RAM, Matrox G400-32, CTX 17 inch
monitor). I used it from KDE and it failed because arts was running and it
was looking for esound...

mcop warning: user defined signal handler found for SIG_PIPE, overriding

So I used this wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/bin/playdvd-vlc
# switch off DPMS screen blanking
xset -dpms
# Allow sound
killall artsd
sleep 1
/usr/bin/vlc --width 1152 --height 1080
# switch on DPMS screen blanking again
xset +dpms
# Let the system use sound when done

This works (--fullscreen just gives a blank screen, though)...
