gxine cannot do this by itself. It needs a buggy X graphics driver. (I'm assuming that you mean that the laptop is completely unresponsive: keyboard LEDs can't be toggled and you can't ping it or log in to it from another computer.)
You can try different graphics drivers (-V opengl, -V xshm) and see what happens. If it works, set the default and reassign this bug to whichever graphics driver package you're using.
