hi i have
a DVD rom but linux sees it as a cd-rom driver how
can i let it know that it is a DVD -ROM and not a cd-rom
i have RH9.

hi!

What do you mean? Are you unable to mount/view dvdmovies etc?

If so, what program do you use to watch it? And are you shure you have libdvdcss installed? (verify with rpm -qa | grep -i libdvdcss)

Good luck

hi
thanks for the fast reply
when i put in fstab /dev/dvd instead of /dev/cdrom it doesn't mount
i have aline like this
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
i replaced it with
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
maybe i am doing something wrong.

Does /dev/dvd exist?

ls /dev | grep dvd

hi
i did ls /dev | grep dvd
but got nothing
if dev/dvd doesn't exist how can i make it exist.
i have a dvd and
i have a dual boot with 98SE and i watch dvd there but i am trying to watch them
with my linux and i don't know how
i saw that with mplayer i can watch dvd i just need to configure linux to show my
dvd as dvd and not as cdrom

hello all
i did ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
and now i can see dvd in mplayer thank you all for replying
by the way how do i get dma to work?

hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc (assuming hdc is your dvd drive) this setting will not be retained over a reboot check man hdparm for info on howto keep settings
