Hi, I've installed 8.1 on my systyem more more or less succesfully. I haven't configured everything yet, first things first. The DVD drive won't work, I read some postings on mandrakeforum and the DVD playing howto. With VLC installed and running, and with A movie rom in th drive I klick the play button, but nothing happens. I launched VLC from A terminal to see errors coming by, but no errors. This is what I have done: -Made A simlink; # ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd -Removed the "devfs=mount" in lilo.conf (for my cdrw) - Did A #hdparm -i /dev/dvd what shows up is all kind of info about my DVD drive. -The dvd drive has the latest firmware.
Anybody any suggestions? mb=abit kt7a cpu=Athlon c 1000 dvd= LG DRD 8120 B (hdc) mem= 256 mb cdrw= Mitsumi 4802TE (hdd) HD= IBM DTLA 305040 40gig TIA, Gerard van Winssen
