Well, on my B&W G3 350/DVD ,YDL, kernel 2.2.6-something (the
'UniMouse kernel'), a DVD movie disc is recognized as such, I can
mount it and list the contents (video files, etc) so there must be a
UDF driver around.
Do you have all the modules belonging to your kernel? When I upgraded
to just the 'UniMouse' kernel without the modules, Linux wouldn't
even recognize CD-ROMs any more...
So now that we see the DVD files, needed next is a Player for the
movies...anyone working on that?
Cheers
