"matcd" is the driver for old Matsushita proprietary CD-ROM drives.  
rmatcd would be the raw-mode access to such a drive.  The error 
message from KDE uses the name of the drive that it is configured 
to use, so:

1) Figure out what CD-ROM you actually have and give it the 
correct permissions in /dev.

2) Find the setting buried somewhere in the KDE configuration 
that tells it which device to access for the CD.  I think if you 
open the CD player, it has a button that opens its configuration,
and you need to find the setting that now says /dev/rmatcd0 
and change it to /dev/acd0c (assuming you are using an IDE/ATAPI
CD drive).  I don't think you need to use the raw mode driver, 
which would be /dev/racd0c.
