Now I have Xine and Ogle working fine on my computer. The problem with getting these programs to work with LM 8.1 and LM 8.2 cooker is that if you have a CDRW/DVD Combo drive, you don't get any raw devices for your drive generated. Only the CD writer script gets executed completely. I had to create "/dev/dvd, /dev/rawctl, /dev/raw1, /dev/raw2 (not needed but just in case;-)), and /dev/rdvd". /dev/dvd is made the same way that my /dev/scd0 is made. My /dev/scd0 is a link to rawdevice scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd (My cdwriter). ie a "ls -l" will produce on my computer: /dev/dvd -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /dev/scd0 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd Next I had to make a raw device. In the DVD-Howto you have a choice between that in creating a stin/stout files. I felt using the device was best for performance reasons which I think is true in my case. You will need to have fileutils-4.1-5mdk (It has mknod which we will need) and util-linux-2.11m-4mdk (that has raw, the other program we will need). /bin/mknod /dev/rawctl c 162 0 /bin/mknod /dev/raw1 c 162 1 /bin/mknod /dev/raw2 c 162 2 /bin/mknod /dev/raw3 c 162 3 /bin/mknod /dev/raw4 c 162 4 /usr/bin/raw /dev/raw1 /dev/dvd ln -s /dev/raw1 /dev/rdvd Then run and exectute xine or ogle. For xine use: xine -pq dvdnav:// and for ogle ogle -u cli /dev/dvd or just plain ogle if you want a graphical version to run. I hope this helps and this is my success story. Altoine
