Is there any setting I need to change before hand? In my case, xmms (1.0.1 on FBSD 3.4 & XF86 3.3.6) will cause the tty that X is on to go black, act "dead" (i.e. pressing Alt-F9 should cause me to return to the X server but it only causes a beep), and makes X take up all the spare CPU cycles. After trying to several days, I'm downgrading back to xmms 0.9.. > Plus, I tried a couple CD player (one from KDE, and xmcd) without > success. KDE CD player says that I don't have access to rmatcd0c.

If you have a standerd IDE CD-ROM drive (most folks do) then you're barking up the wrong tree. For reasons that I have yet to fathom, KDE's CD player assumes that everyone in the world is using this non-standerd style of CD-ROM player. I found a post in the mailing list archives months ago that helped me with this issue. You need to configure kscd's settings to use /dev/racd0c if you have a standerd IDE CD-ROM drive. To do this, I ended up editing the ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc file by hand. Here's what mine looks like right now: # KDE Config File [SMTP] enabled=false senderAddress=someone@somewhere.org serverHost=localhost serverPort=25 [CDDB] CurrentServer=www.cddb.com cddbp 8880 - HTTPProxyHost= CDDBRemoteEnabled=1 SeverList=www.cddb.com cddbp 8880 -,cddb.moonsoft.com http 80 /~cddb/cddb.cgi, SubmitList=xmcd-cddb@amb.org,cddb-test@xmcd.com, CDDBHTTPProxyEnabled=0 HTTPProxyPort=0 CDDBSubmitAddress=xmcd-cddb@amb.org LocalBaseDir=/usr/local/share/apps/kscd/cddb/ [MAGIC] magicwidth=320 magicheight=200 magicbrightness=3 [General] ToolTips=0 RandomPlay=0 DOCKING=1 AUTOPLAY=0 CDDevice=/dev/racd0c CustomBroserCmd= BackColor=0,0,0 AUTODOCK=1 Volume=18 EJECTONFINISH=0 USEKFM=1 LEDColor=0,255,255 STOPEXIT=1 UnixMailCommand=/bin/mail -s "%s" Use this as the file ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc and you should be able to get kscd to play well with others. :) Enjoy, Jaime To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
