No, everything is not fine, same as when I first posted, Mplayer doesn't 
recognize that there is a dvd drive at /dev/dvd and I assumed that rh8 just 
missed recognizing it as a dvd drive or that I have to do something 
additional for it to create a /dev/dvd device.

I tried command "gmplayer -fs dvd://2" (as suggested by Jean-Yves Simon) and 
mplayer launches but doesn't play anything (I assume this is because it 
can't find any /dev/dvd device to play from).

I know, I was waiting for the subscription to approve for the list and the 
first message I sent bounced with some garbage about 'v i r u s' and told me 
to re-send with NOVIRUS in the subject...great system!

Should be good now that I can reply to your posts.
