[gentoo-user] Gnome does not 'see' DVD RW drive

[Jamie]

I've just installed Gentoo 2007.0 after being a little annoyed by the
speed (or lack of) in the latest Ubuntu release.
Things are going pretty well but for some reason Gnome does not appear to
be able to 'see' my DVD burner. I cannot right click in Nautilus and burn
to disc, nor does a DVD drive show up in Place -> Computer.
/etc/make.conf:

# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
# This should not be changed unless you know exactly what you are doing.  You
# should probably be using a different stage, instead.
CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="X arts avi cups mpeg jpeg png qt quicktime truetype gtk kde samba nfs
opengl dvd xvid cdr dvdr dvdread"

I should note that I am running an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ but running a 32
bit environment as I have never quite got my head around running a 32 bit
chroot (?is that the correct term?) to enable the things that don't run
under 64 bit to run in a 32 bit environment.

Hopefully this will be something easily fixed and I welcome any
suggestions and will provide further information if asked.

Cheers

Jamie
