RedHat: vlc query

["Daniel J Owen-Mcgee" <D J Owen-Mcgee derby ac uk>]

Hi,

I've just loaded RedHat v.9 onto my IBM T21 laptop but am having
problems playing DVDs i.e they won't run.
I've activated the command line vlc dvd:%d to start whenever a dvd is
inserted into the drive, but this is not working either.

Does anyone out there have any clues or suggestions?

I don't know if the  Mashitsu DVD drive has ben properly recognised

Thanks,

Dan
