Re: Ogle won't play DVDs

I am not sure I follow. How are you trying to open the file? Do you have 
/dev/dvd softlinked to /dev/cdrom (assuming your cdrom is /dev/cdrom)? 
If not on the command line do (as root):
ln -s /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd

Now use the ogle-gui to open /dev/dvd as
ogle /dev/dvd

If you have RH then you can have the dvd auto-started by changing the cd 
properties (redhat -> preferences -> cd properties). For the section on 
DVD (put a check on run ....) , and just add the command
ogle /dev/dvd

Hope this helps.
