I usually use Midnight Commander to search for and to edit config files. Once I realised that under Knoppix I could find the xine config file but could not see it in MC, I opened it in a text editor by typing in the file path, edited the /dev/dvd entry to /dev/sr1, and now Xine works.

In Mandrake I did the same, but it appears that for some reason Mdk 9.0 does not give a user permission to run a DVD, though Xine loads as user. Now have to change permissions and hopefully all will be well.

Obviously similar problems with MPlayer, Gtk+Videolan etc. Will sort them out eventually.
