new dvd drive won't play dvds, but old one can

[Juan Kawada]

Ok. I changed thee setting in kaffeine to point to the new dvd drive instead
of the old. now dvds play in the new one, but not the old. I think that's
pretty ridiculous that it doesn't automatically work for both after
installing libdvdcss (and reinstalling after I added the new drive). Is
there a way I can tell it to look at both of them?  And is this something I
might want to file a bug report on?

and
 ls -l /dev | grep dvd:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-18 16:12 dvd -> scd2
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-18 16:12 dvd3 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root   root           4 2008-08-18 16:12 dvdrw -> scd2that's
pretty ridiculous if you ask me
