As I mentioned earlier ... using xine it all seems to work.

Interesting about the device names. Like Ray said, /dev/dvd (etc) are
all links. In my case (and I suspect yours) they point to /dev/sr0,
/dev/sr1, etc.

Now that brings up the question: what are these devices? used to be
that my cdroms were /dev/hdX.

My nvidia is working just fine. Did you try with different versions? I
think that my restricted hardware installer shows about 3 different
versions. I'm using the latest 185.18.36.
