For example, assume that the combo drive is set to /dev/sr0. This can be checked by running the "Hardware Information" icon in YaST2. Run the following command on a shell command line :
ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd
After this the software dvd players should recognise the drive and play dvd. This solution worked on the PC here.
It worked. Will I need to do this after every login, or need to place it in a global .config or .profile somewhere? Or is that all that needs to be done?
The link can should be created as user "root" and should be permanent. There is no need to amend any other setting.
I was getting all prepared to email you back and say, "Nope. Not it. I should have said earlier, I have a Memorex drive hooked up via IDE."
Then I thought better of it, and checked anyway. Even though I was *completely* certain there's no SCSI anywhere in my system.
It *does* emulate a SCSI drive after all... That was the last thing I was expecting!
