An idea on this: As root, when I run xmcd, it works. CD load invokes the playlist database, eject button works, can play CD's, etc. As user, launch xmcd, nothing works.
I am in group audio, after looking at /dev/scd0 (owner=root, group=cdrom) I added my user account to the cdrom group as well. Actual device is an IDE CD-R/W with SCSI emulation. TIA, Paul -- Paul Mackinney | Another look at Sept 11 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.copvcia.com/
