We can now play DVD on Satellite :)

need to pass:

libata.atapi_enabled=1 ide1=noprobe

to kernel so that DVD writer is seen as /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/hdc

ide1=noprobe is needed to prevent loading of ide modules and to allow 
SATA mode on DVD reader.

Then we have a menu inviting us to select application to read it (two 
bugs solved in one) :)

Cheatcode xmodule=nvidia or xmodule=fglrx help to have a good xorg.conf 
with proprietary driver using a PDI.


I don't feel the need to install to hd with fromhd/PDI/unionfs: lot of 
apps in relative few space with cloop, new drivers and preferences in PDI

Install should increase the speed to launch apps, but as they don't 
close themselves I don't care :P
