I was wondering if it was possible to play a DVD in SuSE 9? I do not seem to be able to do so with what I have installed. Although SuSE does see my DVD player (the icon on the desktop says DVD and the other says CD-R - both are correct). I can access the drive (I actually installed SuSE from that drive). SuSE sees it as an HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B if that matters.
There has been much discussion (and recently) on this list about reading info and video from dvd's. Look for packman on google and download/install the xine packages for SUSE 9.0. Make sure that you read the instructions, as there are several packages required to fully utilize your dvd and bypass the RIAA's crippling. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
