Permission troubles

[beforewisdom]

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
