I searched the forum and could not find the same problem i am having… I am running 11.1 64 bit version of openSuse…and vlc will not open at all, all it does is flash a few times then it crashes
Multi-media and Restricted Format Installation Guide - openSUSE Forums
What is the output from the terminal if you try vlc from there
i will get on the laptop and tell u in a few mins, i am on my vista desktop at the moment
I had a similar problem under 10.3. It stemmed from an erroneous audio configuration and disappeared completely, once I installed proper audio drivers.

You can also try turning off desktop effects
I have the same problem. This is the output I get:
Mar 9 16:55:54 Lappy-v2 kernel: vlc[12602]: segfault at 149 ip 00007f927af0df6b sp 00007f9277bfd588 error 4 in libQtGui.so.4.4.3[7f927acea000+8d6000]
There is one difference though. The first time I try to run VLC it opens fine. I can even load up a DVD from directory. However, navigation around the DVD menu is slow useless.
