in your "my computer" folder and using Suse , any version that I can
recall.. the dvd or cd player or burner doesn't appear unless you have a
disk in the drive, at which time you will notice it, as it will look like
some iconic representation of a cd or dvd..
Suse shows your media drivers in the /media directory, and , of course
also in the /dev directory, but if you wish just to see if it's
recognised, look in media , it will be called something like cd or dvd
recorder (assuming you have a recorder rather than just a player cd is
usually called cdrecorder and the dvd is dvdrecorder, oddly enough. ;)
that is all that needs to be done since 9.1 on.. nothing in yast or
anywhere else.
You can record data as well as multimedia , even video there is a Divx for
Linux as well as emovix ( all purpose video player you can put in a disc
w/ lots and lots of movie clips, if you have a capture card... ) You need
to get lame or use Real Player for mp3 , Kaffeine will play mpegs and
Divx IIRC you need to locate libdvdcss *or* use a ful copy of Mplayer to
decode movie dvds to watch on your computer.
Hope this helps, or gives you a few places to look for more info..
