I still have an 8,0 installation. I have reinstalled the 0.9.13 rpms in that , set dma on the drive and using dvdnav it works perfectly.
I have now installed the same rpms in 8.1 set dma the same way and when I fire it up I get errors from libdvdcss and libdvdread telling me that it cannot find a dvd in the drive.
xine-check tells me that good /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc, and good /dev/dvd points to /dev/hdc
So as far as I can see it should work.
any clues ?
Not off hand. As I said I didn't have to change anything from my 8.0 installation of xine. After the upgrade it just worked.
What messages are you getting from xine? Do you get
dvd_reader: opening /dev/dvd...
? If the messages from xine don't provide any clues all I can think of is running "ldd" on xine and all libraries it uses and check if possibly there's one missing somewhere.

Some more thought led me to wonder whether the problem is the dvd software or the access to the drive. So tried acouple of cd players (grip and kscd), neither will read a disc. So I conclude I need to reset some links to the drive ? I'd be grateful for advice as to where to look and what to do. Mike
