My DVD problems all seemed to evaporate when I "updated" the kernel. I already had all the usual stuff done but still no joy. Updated the kernel and it all started to work. When I wiped it and started over the first thing I did was install the newer kernel. Then all the usual changes [ libdvdcss, Kaffeine from Packman, etc ]. popped in a commercial movie DVD and bingo, up and running without a hitch. -- (o:]>*HUGGLES*<[:o) Billie Walsh The three best words in the English Language: "I LOVE YOU" Pass them on! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
