[snip] > Thanks, The end result I want is to be able to play movies. I can't answer all your specific questions, but all I had to do to play movies was this: 1. Install vlc, which you've done; 2. As root, mount the dvd; 3. As ordinary user, run vlc like vlc dvd:///dev/acd1 My ordinary user has write access and group ownership on the DVD drive device file, but I don't know if that is necessary. Also I have those sysctls set like so: kern.ipc.shmmax: 33554432 kern.ipc.shmall: 8192 ...again, I'm not sure how necessary that is. HTH. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging <|> ]
