Well, I have woody on my laptop and ogle didn't even started, complaining it
could not find its configuration file (actually there wasn't, I guess there
is something wrong in the woody package?). With DVD it is also important the
linux video chipset driver. Eventually I compiled Mplayer and it Worked For
Me: I can watch DVDs full screen on my ATI Rage. I would recommend Mplayer
especially now that there are debian binary packages floating around.
