Ok, so it works as a CD?  Then according to the xine HOWTO /dev/dvd is just a symbolic link to /dev/hdc:

# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd

You might want to go through that HOWTO.

Eveil Entity Linux is supposed to get their sound working in the next distro. They are highly customizing their sound drivers and stuff or somethin'.

Stryker:
Yeah, i've been talking to one of the guys that works on it. Told him all my hardware specs and he said he'd have it all taken care of in the next release. I'll use that when I get it, until then RedHat. I used it a few days ago, no luck getting it to work, except video. looks good and i'll show it to my friends to convince them to go linux. I doubt I can convince them with something like RedHat or Mandrake, as it doesn't have a look that would make them think it is any good. But i'll give them 1 step into linux. And have something working well for my laptop. But RedHat will always be my favorite.

Stryker:
sorry for the late response, dmesg | grep hdc give me this:

    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xeff8-0xefff, BIOS settings: hdc :D MA, hdd io
hdc: DV-28E-B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 256kB Cache, UDMA(33)
hdc: DMA disabled


not sure what it means but there it is.

voidmain:
So it recognizes the drive, good. Now do this as root:

# ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd

and see if your dvd app picks up on it.
