Hi List;

I've just installed openSUSE v10 on an IBM thinkpad but I cannot play
commercial DVD's. I've installed xine and xine-lib but I get the following
error when I attempt to run play a DVD with xine or kaffiene:

Warning: This version of Xine lacks support for playing DVD discs for legal
reasons. Please go to http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/09/xine_dvd.html for
further details.

If I go to this url it simply tells me there is no legal dvd player for linux.

Thanks in advance for your help...
