Mandrake 8.1, vlc 2.83 Problem -- HELP!

[changa damany imara]

Ok. This problem has been described before but has yet to be answered.
I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with VLC version 2.83. This is the version of
vlc thats distributed by mandrake (rpms vlc-0.2.83-1mdk and
vlc-gnome-0.2.83-1mdk are installed). Videolan will play mpg's but will
not run dvds. Neither Open disc or Open file works. Sometimes the drive
will spin but nothing ever starts playing.

I've linked /dev/dvd to /dev/hdc (the dvd player on my harddrive).
Here's the output:


$ vlc -vvvvv dvd:/dev/dvd
