I'm running slackware 12 in my old system (AMD2500+ 1GB ram 256 Nvidia Gforce 6200)
the thing is that i installed a CD-RW and a DVD-RAM on this thing..
CD-RW works fine mounting media autimatically and i'm able to access it as non-root user.
DVD-RAM is not doing so well. I'm sure the problem is related to permisions but i'm not sure what to do with the hal issues and all that.
The wierd thing is that i tried to mount the media using sudo and it doesn't do it.... dev is mounted fine as root.
by the way, my user is listed on plugdev, cdrom, video, audio ,scaner etc...
"/dev/cdrom" and "/dev/dvd" and i call the ide directly as in "/dev/hdc" "/dev/hdd"
the thing is that i didn't upgrade from slackware 11... i did from slackware 10... and it wasn't an upgrade... more like a format/reinstall... anyways, it used to work fine before without the tweek.
