I've grabbed the output from mplayer and the dump from ktrace/kdump and posted them at: http://memory.visualtech.com/kdump.txt (975 kB) http://memory.visualtech.com/mplayer.txt (1 kB) >From mplayer.txt, you see that it's complaing: "Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd" Now /dev/dvd is a symlink to /dev/acd0: [ adamk@sorrow - /usr/home/adamk ]: ls -l /dev/dvd lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Aug 25 15:54 /dev/dvd -> /dev/acd0 And /dev/acd0 looks like: [ adamk@sorrow - /usr/home/adamk ]: ls -l /dev/acd0 crw-r--r-- 1 root operator 117, 0 Aug 25 15:36 /dev/acd0 Note: user 'adamk' is part of the 'operator' group. In addition, I've tried this as root just in case there's some strange permission thing going on. Still no luck. *Any* ideas?
