Hello everybody, I recently installed FreeBSD 5.2 on my Desktop machine. So far I am very pleased. I tried 5.0 in June, and I did not find it suitable for my needs, yet. Now the ISDN-card is gone from my machine and TV works in overlay-mode. =) So I am actually considering to make FreeBSD my primary OS on my desktop machine. There are some problems to be solved, though, most pressingly DVD-playback. ;-/ I installed mplayer and ogle via ports. They don't work... All I get is the following error message from mplayer: -------------------------------------------- Playing DVD title 1 Reading disc structure, please wait... libdvdread: Can't open file VIDEO_TS.IFO. Can't open VMG info! --------------------------------------------
Mmmh... I would like to watch DVDs pretty much, so what can I do? I tried reinstalling them, I made sure libdvd* is installed properly... And, yes, /dev/dvd is a symbolic link to /dev/acd0 which again has chmod 666. Some more about the machine: uname -a: FreeBSD neuromancer.krylon.net 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #2: Mon Jan 12 18:25:33 CET 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NEUROMANCER i386 relevant parts of /var/run/dmesg.boot: atapci0: <VIA 82C686B UDMA100 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f at device 7.1 on pci0 atapci0: Correcting VIA config for southbridge data corruption bug ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci0 ata0: [MPSAFE] ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci0 ata1: [MPSAFE] result of 'atacontrol info 1': Master: no device present Slave: acd0 <LITEON DVD-ROM LTD122/IL5A> ATA/ATAPI rev 0 I'm afraid the problem is more application- or library-related... Who can give me a hint? Kind regards, Thank you very much, Benjamin
