Maybe your laptop's drive is just like mine (is it really mine?), and actually honors region coding in the firmware, and as such Linux can't override it. My sister gave me a Neon Genesis Evangelion DVD set last Christmas which I've never watched, because she bought the disks in Australia and naturally, they're region 4 disks. Gee, so I don't actually own my DVD drive after all. You'll see stuff in the system log saying that there's a region code mismatch when you try to read the disks if this is the problem. -- No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn... http://stormwyrm.blogspot.com
