How do I get my DVD drive recognized in Gentoo. My drive is a Pioneer DVD-305s scsi model. It is recognized as a cdrom now.

There's nothing wrong with this. DVD drives do normally work as CD-ROM drives. You will only use it as a DVD drive when you insert a DVD in it. Otherwise, it will act just like a regular CD-ROM drive.

I cannot get it recognized as a dvd drive. xine can't find it. Either that or I am being an idiot using xine.

I remember having a similar problem before... the xine configs were set up with a default dvd drive pointing to /dev/dvd. You may want to check this and make a link from your dvd drive to /dev/dvd or just change the config to point directly to your dvd drive.

Config files for xine are usually in:

~/.xine/config

I got it working. I just created a symlink to /dev/dvd from /dev/sr0.
