What an idiot I am. Ok here we go again. This time with an external keyboard.

"I just installed Fedora Core 3 on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop without any problems. It even solved some hw problems I had with core 2. One thing, I can't get Totem to work. It seems to recognize the DVD, but will not play it. Is there anybody out there that has figured this out?"

Thank You in advance.

Fedora Core 3 uses GStreamer backend totem, and from what I gather, dvd support is currently disabled in GStreamer backend totem - not because of Fedora, but because the GStreamer developer had a reason to (visualizers are also turned off).

You can install the xine backend totem, or you can use ogle to play DVD's - which is what I do. I think freshrpms has the xine backend totem if you want to use that.
