[xine-user] xine fails at dvds

[Ed J. <ej...@co...>]

I run Gentoo, and have xine-lib 1.1.1-r3 and xine-ui 0.99.4-r3.  It won't 
play dvds.  I get 

libdvdread: Using libdvdcss version 1.2.9 for DVD access
libdvdread: Could not open /dev/dvd with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/dvd for reading

ls -al /dev/dvd  
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Mar  5 14:40 /dev/dvd -> hdc
ls -al /dev/hdc
brwxrwxrwx  1 root cdrom 22, 0 Mar  5 14:40 /dev/hdc

This user is in the cdrom group.  

Evidently, the drive itself is OK, as I can mount and read data cds, boot 
live cds and play music cds ( not with xine though).  I cannot, however, 
mount dvds - "no media found".  Finally, the control thingee shows two 
entries for every item, i.e., VCDO, DVD, DVD, DVB, DVB, CD, CD.

Any advice on where to look to spot the problem here greatly appreciated.
