I already asked him that, and of course he hasn't responded.

Just another drive-by Google-Groper moron.

I've got a Radeon 9250, it can display digital TV, I'd expect it to
cope with a DVD.

It's been 5+ yrs since posting on Mandrake/Mandriva newsgroup and I
see it's still haunted by some jerks or maybe it's the same ones from
years ago.

Thanks to those who replied with helpful replies, it is apreciated. I
did run a dual OS along with Mandrake 10.1 but dropped all when
changed pc but looking to get back into Linux.

For those in the first category, don't reply to my posts as I don't
want to read your juvenile remarks.
