Still confused as to WHY applications are tied to ICONS and NOT DEVICE FILES!?!?!? I have to be able to duplicate the functionality of these hardware devices for other users!
There not tied to the icon, the icon points to /dev/dvd or cdrecorder which points to /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1.
What SHOULD be available: DVD hardware device should be able to: read/play "audioCD" read/play "dvd" read "dataCD"
CD-RW hardware device should be able to: read/play "audioCD" read "dataCD" read/write "blank CD" as new "audioCD" or new "dataCD"

What are you trying to mount? If you are mounting through an icon what is it pointing to? What does fstab say about those devices? What does ls -l /dev/cdr* and ls -l /dev/dvd give as output. Please don't YELL, I'm trying to help, and find it hard to continue to try an help you while your YELLING. I'm not sure why it's not wotking for you, I have the same setup and can do all those things. All I needed to do was to change the links to sr0 and sr1.
So far: Have found that KsCD, Gnome CD Player, & ALSA Player ALWAYS point to /dev/cdrom, even after changing the device file in their config. Only Grip config is able to be changed to play audioCD from CD-RW or DVD hardware. Yet, I do not get sound from my DVD hardware. Problem NOT fixed!!
Have you checked the mixer to see if the line in is muted? Is there a cable attached to the drive? What device did you tell these applications to look at?
Can only read DVD files on DVD hardware with SuSE pre-made icon. Problem NOT fixed!! May fix itself after configuring dvd player application.
Do you mean a dvd movie? a suse dvd? Which application? What does the other icon point to?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Did you change the links? if so what command did you use? Did you change the device that the icons where pointing to? If so what do they point to? -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.1
