I'm trying to figure out DVD playback. I have 6.2 w/KDE-lite. I can play
audio CD's on the DVD. I have installed and want to use VLC. I'm trying
to figure out/distill exactly what the Handbook wants me to do in the
first paragraph:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/video-playback.html
I can do this:
> add the following lines to /etc/devfs.conf:
> link acd0 dvd link
> acd0 rdvd
------------
How to do this? Yes, I can chmod...but exactly what do I do here?
> Additionally, DVD decryption, which requires invoking special DVD-ROM
> functions, requires write permission on the DVD > devices.
-----------
What is the exact command?
> To enhance the shared memory X11 interface, it is recommended that the
> values of some sysctl(8) variables should be increased:
> kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
> kern.ipc.shmall=32768
----------
Thanks, The end result I want is to be able to play movies.
