I run sid. I've a burner and a DVD (ASUS 8x) on the same attachement, the
DVD is slave, both run ide-scsi (no devfs).
It plays fime most of the DVD I've tried. Sometimes, it is a bit jerky.
The processor is a K6-II 500. The video card is a TNT2. When I use it with
the nvidia drivers, it is smooth, but these drivers trigger other problems
(cannot use soem opengl software, cannot use the framebuffers for the
console..).
