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.

Thanks, The end result I want is to be able to play movies.
I can't answer all your specific questions, but all I had to do to play
movies was this:
1. Install vlc, which you've done;
2. As root, mount the dvd;
3. As ordinary user, run vlc like
vlc dvd:///dev/acd1
My ordinary user has write access and group ownership on the DVD drive
device file, but I don't know if that is necessary. Also I have those
sysctls set like so:
kern.ipc.shmmax: 33554432
kern.ipc.shmall: 8192
...again, I'm not sure how necessary that is.
HTH.
