dvd and audio question
 

hi all
first i want to ask how i can set normal users to have sound when playing DVDs.i have a via on board soundcard in my motherboard and when i play DVDs as root i have sound but when i play them as normal user i don't have.i check the volume control and when as root i set the via dxs up in the mixer i have sound but as user i don't have.also i set with alsactl store the mixer settings and they are up in boot but when i log into X the settings have gone.i boot with runlevel 4 if that matters.

second i compiled the 2.6.7 kernel from the slackware cd (source) and everything is ok exept that i can't have a framebuffer console at boot and when i log into X i have the message /dev/dsp device don't found.

any suggestions?

Some suggestion (if it was not already tried) :
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug

add your user in audio group in /etc/group, if audio group does not exist, create it :
groupadd -g 17 audio

In your kernel config, make sure these features are enabled as built-in :
CONFIG_FB=y
CONFIG_FB_VESA=y
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_LOGO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_MONO=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_VGA16=y
CONFIG_LOGO_LINUX_CLUT224=y
CONFIG_FONTS=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x8=y
CONFIG_FONT_8x16=y
