Yes, see the dxr3 plugin's TROUBLESHOOTING file.  NPTL (in case it's the 
problem - I haven't used a non-NPTL system in quite a while) can't be 
disabled on Fedora 7 though.

Last time I tried it (I suppose you're talking about the vdr-mplayer package 
from livna.org) it did work for me out of the box.  Mplayer didn't have DVD 
menu support back then - and I don't know if it has nowadays - so I lost 
interest to experiment further pretty quickly.
