I've used Mplayer/Ogle and to a lesser extent Xine for playing DVDs on a
333Mhz iMac w/o hardware decoding and it works okay (it's not perfect and
can stutter a little) so you should be okay with software decoding.
I had to install Panther on the machine so now I'm using VLC for DVD
playback, but I can't comment on its speed in Gentoo. VLC plays perfectly
In Mac OS X, you probably won't get the Apple DVD Player to run though (I
don't know what graphics you have in the Lombard...)
The Lombards have an ATI video system with 8 MB of VRAM. It's not
supported by OS X's Quartz Extreme graphics subsystem (neither is the
hardware DVD decoder, anyway, so I read) and it's non-upgradable, as is
the case with most laptops.
