OK, what am I doing wrong (RedHat 7.2, new install)?

I did this on a fresh RedHat 7.2 install:

a) libdvdcss:

	./configure
	make
	make install


b) vlc:

	./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt --with-sdl --enable-xvideo
	make
	make install


c) Try to run the app:

	./vlc or ./vlc /dev/cdrom


What happens:

a) The Gtk+ GUI interface comes up
b) Nothing happens when I play except CD spins up


vlc -vvvvv /dev/cdrom shows me a lot of the following (it keeps up):

Garbage at input (002a5544)

etc
etc
etc



Seems to me something to do with the CDROM not reading as a DVD? It's a
Toshiba unit and it worked fine when I was running RH 7.0.

Sorry for the newbie question - any help gratefully acknowledged!
