TICKET ARCHIVE -> How Do I Enable the Dvd Player In Safe Boot Mode?

Thanks for providing this service.
How do I enable the DVD player in Safe boot mode?
How do I make the normal boot mode like Safe boot mode and add each of the things disabled one-at-a-time to find a problem with my computer?
Recently, my computer has been displaying is a wierd way. There is pixelation or blockiness, the icons will not redraw after a screen is moved, or many other bad drawing behavior. For the past few weeks I've been using my machine in Safe Boot mode. It works as expected, no sound, no DVD, etc. No display problems. Since Safe boot does not exhibit the display problems, I believe the display problems are a symptom of some other problem. I wish to find the problem.
I am unable and unwilling to purchase a new computer at this time. I would like to t least get access to my DVD drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-105 Rev. A506) again.
My system profile reports the following:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: iMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.5.9f1
