Initially: brw-rw---- 1 cdrom 22, 0 Nov 17 16:41 /dev/hdc so I change it to 777 brwxrwxrwx 1 cdrom 22, 0 Nov 17 16:41 /dev/hdc but that did not fix it. ls -alg /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 17 16:41 /dev/cdrom -> hdc

ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_CDROM_RAM=1 I also get an additional error message from kaffeine now: xine Error -Kaffeine Player "No plugin found to handle this resource (dvd:/) Details xine: cannot fine input plugin for MRL (dvd:/) xine: input plugin cannot open MRL (dvd:/) xine: found input plugin :DVD Navigator demux_avi; invalid avi chunk "demux_avi; invalid avi chunk...." > You can also try setting udev_log=7 in /etc/udev/udev.conf, run > udevstart, OK > and take a look at the messages in /var/log/messages to see > what devices udev is seeing, what rules it is matching for those, and > what devices and links it is creating. Hum, /var/log/messages does not exist.

None really, I was just looking at a portable, with an onboard usb cam built into the screen case and it had the video drivers. I do think I enabled v4l in the kernel on that one. Let's just ignore it for now, as the frame grabber card that was in the amd system with the dvd problem was moved to another system a couple of months ago.
