Hello;

Thanks for all teh replies to my earlier request for assistance regarding 
upgrading to KDE 3.2.3

Apparently I had a problem with K3b that I didn't know about until I went to 
backup some data.  Making a long story short, I ended up using YAST2 to do 
the KDE upgrade again to get K3b working properly. Alas, now Xine is broken.

After much screwing around with Apt, which I know little about, as well as 
using rpm from the CLI, I've gotten past all the dependency issues and have 
the latest from Packman's Xine directory installed.

But.

Xine won't play a DVD.

I get the following when trying to play a movie:

Input Plugin failed to open MRL DVD:/

Doing some looking around on the 'net I've made sure I have a symlink to the 
DVD.

I have checked my permissions. I'm in groups Wheel and Disk amongst others. 
The /dev/dvd is group Disk too.

Even logged in as root I cannot play the device.

I am able to access the Suse install DVD via YAST btw.

Xine' input setup page indicates /dev/dvd

Yes, I have installed the libdvdcss file.

Kaffine also refuse to play DVD's with the official 'bad boy!' disclaimer. 
Kaffines xine setup also indicates /dev/dvd as the relevant device.

Whats left?

Help?!
