Remember, and this has been discussed much here, the included open source files for multimedia are somewhat crippled and will not work with many things, especially dvd movies! If want such things to work, you will need to download the needed files from the Packman site and replace all your files installed with 10.x! The boxed package for 10.x will have working multimedia for most things, but those of us that get that will still need to compile the DVD movie stuff. It's not that 64bit isn't ready for SuSE, it's just the rest of the software world is not ready for the 64 yet. Maybe when Windows catches up to 64bit, the 64bit will catch up to Linux! ;o)
Yep. My beef is that I can't get libdvdcss to work at all. I knew I had to install it myself. This ain't my first time using linux. Packman -- no dice. It didn't work. I assumed I was looking at a lib64 issue. So, I then downloaded the source code and compiled it myself. Everything seems nice. I don't get any errors. Still doesn't work.
I also find it interesting that kaffeine won't even look at the DVD drive even though it recognizes the installation on libdvdcss.
