Running SuSE 10
1. Mplayer is installed
2. libdvdcss2 is installed
3. When I try to install libxine1-1.1.1-11.pm.2.i586.rpm, I essentially get this:

libxine1 1.1.1-11.pm.2 conflict
Unresolved Requirements:
libxine1 requires libMagick.so.9
libxine1 requires libslang.so.2
libxine1 requires libslang.so.2(SLANG2)
libxine1 requires libtheora.so.0(libtheora.so.1.0)
libxine1 requires libWand.so.9
Conflict Resolution:
( ) Do Not Install libxine1
( ) Ignore Conflict and Risk System Inconsistencies

#### YaST2 conflicts list END ###

How do I resolve this to get my DVD's playing?

install imagemagick, install slang, install theora

mplayer gives this error:
Couldn't open DVD device: /dev/dvd

1. Solved dependency issues

1. libdvdcss installed. I had libdvdcss2 installed, but I deleted it and installed libdvdcss.

2. libxine1 installed

What next? Can play .wmv files with mplayer just fine.

it says it can't open /dev/dvd... does it even exist?

I don't think that it does. /etc/fstab gives me this:

# cat /etc/fstab

/linux:/home/suse # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda2 / reiserfs acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0

/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0

My DVD drive is DVD + Rewriteable (DVD R/RW)

YaST shows no mount points for device. There are 2 entries that are identical:
_NEC DVD +-RW ND-6650A /dev/sr0

ok... so... does /dev/dvd exist?

No, it does not exist, and I don't know how to make it exist.

# ls -l /dev/dvd*
/bin/ls: /dev/dvd*: No such file or directory


Do I need to mkdir /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdrw?

you'd use the ln command "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd" for example. Alternatively just tell mplayer to use an alternative source than /dev/dvd

Thanks a ton acid_kewpie... Changed mplayer from /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom... Works great!!!
