xine/region issue?

Well, the new machine seems to be largely running with minimal issues. However, I have tried to get xine/libdvdcss to do it's thing, with only partial success. I have several DVDs that are region 1, and they work fine. However, I also have some that are region 2, and those don't want to play. I thought libdvdcss was essentially "region free" and indeed it reports some success with the key management, but also reports at least one failure. It sometimes plays some piece of a header/intro, but then fails. Sometimes it doesn't play anything before reporting failure. Any suggestions?
