It's pretty hard to believe that the video hardware is the |
| 13 |
problem. I've played back DVDs on laptop ATI chipsets a decade |
| 14 |
older than yours and it worked fine. I've currently got a two |
| 15 |
year old ATI laptop chipset (X300?), and it has no trouble |
| 16 |
playing DVDs using either the Radeon or the fglrx drive. |

My guess is the optical drive doesn't have DMA enabled. |

You may want to check to make sure the XV video overlay support |
| 21 |
is enabled, but even without it, playing back SD video purely |
| 22 |
in software shouldn't be a problem on anything with a CPU |
| 23 |
faster than 500MHz. |
