After trying a number of different sources I finally got it working. I
got it working with development-sources which is the vanilla 2.6 right?
so obviously one of the patches in gentoo-dev-sources is killing my dvd.
I know its nothing to do with vesa-tng and framebuffer support so I will
add these patches myself, what are some other good ones I could include?
I really wish I could use gentoo-dev-sources because i like them so much
but I am trying to use windows as little as possible and watch a fair
few dvds on my computer. Also is there a list of patches that are
included in gentoo-dev-sources? so i can try them a few at a time to try
to figure out which one is causing this so I can do a bug report on it.

Regards,
Chris

Actually take that back, it worked for a little while, now it starts
again, back to the drawing board for me.
