Thanks, that seems to do it for me. Now I just need to figure out why the media player (which shows up on the plasma screen) just has a blank window, while the DVD is actually playing on the laptop.
Must just be an incorrect setting somewhere - maybe number of colors.
Used this way, kaffeine certainly can play the movies on the laptop, so that's a great start.
How many desktops do you have (the default on installation is 4 in KDE4 and (?)2 in KDE3 (btw, which oS version are you using, 11.0 or what) and are you directing the output of kaffeine to the correct desktop, ie the one which you are actually using to view the DVD? In KDE4 you can start kaffeine in Desktop, say, 1 but then redirect it to output to Desktop 4. When kaffeine is playing the DVD its icon should appear in the taskbar; right-click on this icon and look at To Desktop> and see to which Desktop the output is being sent.
