I just had a good clean install of 11.1…Now how do I point and click to set up my DVD so it will work.
It worked fine during installation as I used a DVD to install 11.1
I’ve placed the DVD containing info about the OS in the DVD Drive, but nothing happens when I close the door. Sure will appreciate some help here. Many thanks.
I am unsure of what you are looking for? Are you trying to play a movie DVD or mount a data DVD? If you are trying to use an Add-on cd, do it through Yast->Add-on Product. If you are trying to play a movie, follow this link for Gnome:

For KDE:

Add the group ‘disk’ to all your users; it’s a well-known bug/feature of 11.1 that users were not automatically added to the ‘disk’ group.
How can you post anything people if he gave not enough information to specify what’s the problem?
No, don’t do that!
Normaly users are not members of the “disk”-group which is intended and not a bug.
Yes, there was a bug with optical media in 11.1, but
a) there were other workarounds
b) it was fixed by an online update (hal)
So update the system with YaST Online Update and don’t use such dirty hacks.
Akoellh, thank you for clarifying this. It’s remarkable how such risky “solutions” keep being posted over and over again (incl. “well known facts”… cough), even though a bugfix is available via the official updates.
Thanks for the help guys, it is appreciated.

so is everything good now?
what did you actually do?
Can you give me the reference for your statement? If you look back over the previous versions of openSUSE that have used HAL, you will find that users have always been members of the same group as the DVD.

And a normal user was never member of the “disk”-group by default since at least SuSE 10.0, standard groups were always “users”, “dialout” and “video”.
