Make sure that your graphics card is setup up properly (with hardware accelleration). Without it a 600mhz Celeron is going to struggle to play DVDs. run mplayer from a terminal and see what video device it uses. It should use XV. If it uses x11, that's your problem. I had a 600mhz Celeron with 256mb Ram and 128mb Radeon 7500 - the difference between xv and x11 was the difference between smooth DVD and not. -- Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
