Why can't the KDE "fix" this? kscd uses rmatcd0 as its default CD
device. This is the proprietry Matsushita/Panasonic interface. It's
from the days of 2x drives. Who uses *those* anymore?
Anyway, either start it with ``-dev /dev/<your_raw_cd_device>'' (I
think that is the correct option, it may just be ``-d /dev/.....''.
Better still, add the following to ~/.kde/share/config/kscdrc
[General]
CDDevice=/dev/cd0c
^^^^
Change this to suit. ISTR that someone said that it needs to be
the raw device for IDE CD-ROMs but I'm not sure, mine's SCSI.
There is a catch-22 with kscd, the kscdrc file is empty until you
run kscd the first time, once you get it started you can add the
above line via the options menu, but you can't start kscd until
you know how to specify the correct device :-/
