Hiya,
  I have FreeBSD 2.1.0 with a IDE-CD (Aztech) attached. I've configured
the kernel appropriately and can use 'cdplay' and 'mount' to correctly
access the drive. Sooo I next try compiling up XmCD-2.0, but it complains
with an EINVAL when ioctl'ing CDIOTOCENTRYS and refuses to play or anything.

Having fiddled with the XmCD code and kernel a little I discovered it was
asking for track 170 (LAST_PLAY_OUT) track, which doesn't exist so I removed
it. XmCD now seems to play from the start, but I can't change track or
anything, since it complains of EIO on CDIOPLAYMSF..

The drive and kernel seem to work OK, since 'cdplay' works, and I'm using
the FreeBSD ioctl method to control it. Seems that XmCD just doesn't like
it?

Any one got any ideas?

Alan.
