RE: [ale] OT: DVD Playback on Laptops

[Holmquist, Thomas W.]

My laptop plays DVDs fine, (35% CPU usage, Dell Inspiron 8100, pIII
1200/800mhz, Debian Linux, Nvidia GF2Go)
 
your laptop probally can't play DVDs because HP can't good build laptops....

I'm going through and cleaning out the inbox.  Was wondering what your 
resolution was.  I've got RH 7.3 on my Sony laptop, but plan on 
installing SuSE 8.2 along side it shortly and was going to see how it 
does with dvd playing. (pIV 2.4 ghz 2mb memory) 

I didn't want to futz (technical term) with dvd on the older RH.
