on an experimental basis I have suse 10.2 reacting to a DVD media now. (Fred did u read this ? :)
from yast - software - search:DVD marked following:
dvd+rw-tools, libdvdcss, libdvdnav, libdvdnav-devel, libdvdread, libdvd-devel, subtitleribber.
with this the light is blinking in the CD/DVD rom, a window shows up (have a DVD film inside) and asks for viewer to chose.
Yast was always able to read the DVD. That is not the problem. The problem is that hal cannot, therefore the DVD cannot be accessed by any other program EXCEPT Yast. halmount (a tool provided by the optional package ivman) does not see /dev/hdc which indicates to me that hal cannot see the DVD and therefore cannot mount it. # halmount --listudi /dev/hdd3 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_fa37d0d7_3083_4c51_bdee_a20018fd0983 /dev/hdd1 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_e23f8a69_2ab3_4361_8624_89b1499b5340 /dev/hdb1 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_98DD_ECE1 /dev/hda4 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_72e4802f_4a0f_40bb_8c4e_79ba26fcec13 /dev/hda3 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_40d53b82_8769_4aac_a099_0572e8d10e40 /dev/hda1 /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1b7a873a_1247_4894_a892_a9850a27c316 (hdd is the 10.2 drive, hda is 9.1 and hdc isn't listed, which is the problem!) # lshal -s <snip> storage_model_DVD_RW_IDE1108 volume_part_1_size_3525214208 <snip> So, that says that not only does the system see the DVD drive, it sees the media inserted in it but the #@!^% system won't do anything with it!!!! I still think hal in 10.2 has a giant goddamn bug and it makes the system unusable to me.
