Totem Problem Opening Files

[Darren Wheatley]

Hi,

Forgot one thing:

If you get a blank screen when playing a DVD (as opposed to the "you need
libdvdcss" message) you need to tweak your X config:

The workaround is to add the line

   Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps"
in the Device section of your X server configuration (usually
/etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config).

Regards

D.
