There's also a "dvd" flag that may need to be turned on... This is my totem verbose compile:

According to a note at the end of an "emerge totem", if you use the xine backend, you get DVD menus. Just for kicks, I unmerged totem and re-emerged it with the xine keyword. Still no DVD menus. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but perhaps this will help point the way towards what the problem is. In the meantime, may I suggest using xine to play DVDs? It's the best I've used (haven't used Ogle or Mplayer to play DVDs, though). Doug > -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
