Hello,

I have two DVD drives in my system. One is a plain DVD drive and the other is a DVD burner. I have gotten DVD playback to work without problems (that I can tell) from my burner. However, I would ather be using my plain DVD drive for most playback.

Being relatively new to Linux, how do I change the default drive to be my plain DVD drive? It is already the first drive on the IDE channel. How do I find out what device it is mapped to?

Thank,

Tim

Code:
dmesg | less
and look for stuff like:
Code:
VP_IDE: VIA vt8235 (rev 00) IDE UDMA133 controller on pci0000:00:11.1
    ide0: BM-DMA at 0xe000-0xe007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe008-0xe00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:DMA
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: ST340016A, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdd: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-832S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive


In your case, you should have device descriptions for hdc and hdd

Look at what the /usr/local/bin/cd_link.sh script does. The problem is that it gets confused when there is more than one optical drive. All you need to do is the equivalent of the last hree lines with the drive that you want to be your default substituted for "$cd_name".
