Problem with totem

Dear Sirs,

I have the following problems with totem on FreeBSD 5.4 and gnome 2.10, 
I posted this question in forums, too, but some people said they had the 
same problem but no solution to that, so I would appreciate your help a 
lot:

1. As in the gnome2.10 instructions, I compiled atapicam into the kernel
and added the following entries into the /etc/devfs.conf:

# Commonly used by many ports
#link    acd0    cdrom
perm    cd0    0666
perm    xpt0    0666
perm    pass0    0666

after that the cdplayer and soundjuicer worked O.K., but totem doesn't.
When pressing on the button "play disk", I got the following message:

"Failed to find mountpoint for device /dev/cd0 in /etc/fstab"

so I modified my fstab the following way:

# Device                Mountpoint                            FStype    
Options            Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad0s3b            none                                        
swap            sw                      0    0
/dev/ad0s3a            /                                                
ufs            rw                         1    1
/dev/acd0                /cdrom                                      
cd9660    ro,noauto               0    0
/dev/acd1                /cdrom1                                    
cd9660    ro,noauto               0    0
/dev/acd0                /home/werner/DVD                  cd9660    
ro,noauto               0    0
/dev/acd1                /home/werner/CD-RW              cd9660    
ro,noauto               0    0
/dev/da0                  /home/werner/Memcard          msdos    
ro,noauto                0    0
/dev/cd0                  /cdrom                                       
cd9660    ro,noauto               0    0
/dev/cd0                  /home/werner/DVD                   cd9660    
ro,noauto               0    0


but after this and a reboot I get the following message, when pressing 
the "play disk" button:

"Failed to retrieve capabilities of device /dev/cd0: Inappropiate ioctl 
for device"

So what do I have to do now? As I said, the cdplayer and soundjuicer work.

Why since FreeBSD 5.4 you need atapicam for playing CD's and DVD's 
anyway, it worked fine before without that?

Many thanks,

Werner
