Re: Thinkpad R52 dvd



ok, dvd movies are working now.

i actually cheated. i have a small 4GB windows partition on the laptop -
for thinkpad bios and embedded controller updates. i never tried palying
the dvd on it. anyway, i did, and after some thinking it worked. i can
only assume, and since reading further into this, that the windows dvd
player silently ran the regionset for the drive. i read that there is a
linux region set utility for a dvd drive, so it could be run from there.

anyway, happier chappy now - totem and friends work.
