I have a compaq presario 1800T laptop. It has an ATI Rage Mobility Pro video
chip. Under the original Windows 98 installation (before I wiped and
reinstalled the drive) I could use the laptop's video out port to watch DVD's on
a regular TV set.
I pretty much assumed I'd never get this working under Linux but I recently saw
a post somewhere that referred to having video out with an ATI chip working. Is
this a possibility?
I have been able to get one of the DVD players working.
Watching DVD's on a laptop is OK for passing the time on an airplane, but it
doesn't make for a pleasant evening cuddled up with one's honey on the couch to
watch a movie. It would be much nicer if I could play it on the TV set.
I guess I could spring for a dedicated DVD player, but then there's the region
coding thing.
