Ubuntu 10.04 Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310 driver/codec/video problem

Asked by Han Shan

When I try to watch a dvd or play a video file on the aforementioned system, only sound is heard and blank screen is shown.
I added the medibuntu repositories and followed through this method specified in the link below to install restricted extra packages. No avail.
Any suggestions?

I'm afraid that did not solve it.
However, I started to fiddle with the video output settings of VLC and X11 turned out to be the missing link.
Anyway, I appreciate your help.
