How would i make things work by playing my dvd movies in 8.2 ? Both Xine & MPlayer comes with this distribution. Is it only those win32codecs you have to get or is it more to do ????? I'm using a ATI Radeon 8500 card by the way.

Both xine and Mplayer distributed with SuSE 8.2 are useless for watching DVDs as they do not contain either the decryption librarys or the correct codecs. This is due to the closed nature of commercial DVDs and the potential for litigation if these were to be included in the distribution. It does beg the question "why bother to include them at all". I think you better ask SuSE that. All is not lost however, as there are rpms for everything you need at http://packman.links2linux.de/ Nick
