Any thoughts here? You shouldn't run as root. If running an X app as root without the X session being run by root to begin with, you'd connect to a second X server, e.g. :1. But you shouldn't do this at all. Instead you should enable atapicam (and basic scsi support) in your kernel and use /dev/cd0, the emulated scsi CDRW, instead. K3b uses cdrecord which uses scsi devices only. As far as root goes: per default the CD devices are owned root:operator, so just add your username to the operator group in /etc/groups and you should be done. HTH, Dan
