You're using gmplayer? Does it work with mplayer?

I don't really know but an ioctl is a system call so maybe your
kernel is too old.

That would be consistent with a too old kernel.

I'm afraid I don't know what to suggest except try it with mplayer -v
and send the entire output to the list. Hopefully there's someone that
uses the GUI, runs RedHat and has a DVD drive so can be more helpful.
