I spent last night trying to get dvd playback in Suse 10.3. I had done everything I could think of and still the only programme that works is Mplayer. I'd be fine with this if Mplayer did screen caps but it doesn't. My research this morning seems to say I have to compile deCSS from the source code. I am afraid.
Don't you love it when things work. I definitely earned geek stripes for this. It was frustrating but I was playing with Last.FM and reading J/D so I was able to fend off the really frustrating moments and persevere in the end. I have dvd in Kaffeine. :) I'll wait until tomorrow to see if Xine works too. Why leave yourself open to bubble bursting.
The latest issue of *Archaeology* has this as its cover story, 'Lessons from the Black Death'. Right off the top of my head I'd say...*Be careful who/what you blame for things* is a biggie.
