wine does not see cd drives


hello,

I use gentoo. I emerged wine, then used winesetuptk. My dosdevices contain:

Code:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 marek users 13 mar 23 04:14 a:: -> /dev/floppy/0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 marek users 10 mar 23 03:33 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx  1 marek users 45 mar 23 04:14 m:: -> /dev/cdroms/../ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 marek users 45 mar 23 04:14 n:: -> /dev/cdroms/../ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
lrwxrwxrwx  1 marek users  1 mar 23 03:33 z: -> /

in /etc/fstab I have:

Code:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      auto            noauto,user,unhide      0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1      /mnt/cdrom1     auto            noauto,user,unhide      0 0
and now my question is:" why wine does not see the cd rom drives?" when I use apps which have some databases on cd they install from CD and run fine until they need to read anything from CD - they cannot see it and ask me to insert it. well, but it still is in the drive.

How can I fix it?

regards,

MArek

You need to add a cdrom entry to ~/.wine/config like:
[Drive D]
"Path" = "/mnt/cdrom"
"Type" = "cdrom"
"Label" = "CD-Rom"
"Filesystem" = "win95"
"Device" = "/dev/cdrom"
