I have used now 3 different distributions, ubuntu, debian, and now
gentoo, and in all of them the same thing has happened, whenever I try
to play a dvd my screen gets a yellowish tint, my teminals that may be
open get distoted colors, (usually red) for the text in them, and it
won't play.  Has anyone gotten this to work?
   



What color depth are you running X in?  I recall having severe problems 
playing any sort of video in 24-bit color, so then I changed to 16-bit and I 
have no problems.  I do notice that when playing most videos the colors of my 
desktop background get messed up, but I consider that a trivial problem and 
ignore it.  (In a couple of hours the background changes, anyway.)


If you run xine --verbose dvd:// in a command window, do you get any 
helpful information about what it's doing or where it quits?


 

xine doesn't quit, totem does, but xine doesn't, xine just plays a blank 
screen.  I think I am in 24-bit depth and I will look into changing that.

Thanks a bunch.

Do you have kernel preemption on?  If so turn it off.

   


nope. it's off. btw i suspect this very kernel option to be responsible
for massive heat-problems on my powerbook3,3 (which is a gen 2 tibook in
applespeak) but i didn't have proof yet since i was too lazy to build
another kernel with preemtion on after i had a working config that kept
the machine cool (which had among other things preemtion off).

Is kernel preemption a bad thing?
