Hi,

I have Redhat 7.1, how do I get my DVD drive and CD writer to work? I am using KDE.

Thanks.

They are working! But i think you mean to view a dvd or burn a cd? oh, thats easy, to view a dvd goto www.viedeolan.org, catch vlc-0.81.tar.gz or so file untar it with

tar xvfz vlc-file.tar.gz

cd vlc-file.tar.gz

do a
./configure
make
than change to root
su
********
make install

your dvd will work now, if you type vlc on a bash.

your writer is the same, look for a burning software for linux install and your in!
