Hi;
I can use xine as root or as knoppix, but not as myself ("steve").
I added myself to the knoppix group via
usermod steve -G knoppix
Sure enough, in /etc/group steve is a member of knoppix.
Any ideas on how I can enable things so I can use xine as 'steve'
Thanks in advance
Steve

In a console window as root adduser steve video to add yourself to obvisously the video group. Some other groups you may want to belong to: floppy, cdrom, audio and src. To check which groups you belong too in a console groups or id.
note: You have to log out then back in for the changes to take effect.

I did all of those, plus knoppix. I ran groups to confirm I was in all of those groups. I rebooted my entire machine.
I chmoded (as root) /cdrom, /dev/hdc, and /dev/dvd.
I am still getting "can't find mrl" messages from xine if I am not logged in as root or knoppix
