    My DVD payer works great with xcdroast and FC1. Only after Fedora's
    kernel went 2.6, then it broke. X-CD-Roast is a great CD/DVD
    authoring tool. And Jörg Schilling had renewed his free ProDVD-key
    till March 5th 2005. But since the kernel upgrade, something went
    wrong. Xcdroast had been a major package until kernel 2.6.
    Here is what <http://xcdroast.org> has to say: "Linux Kernel 2.6.8
    broke CD-Writing:
    I had several reports that the last 2.6.x kernel broke CD-Writing
    using the ATAPI driver. Don't update if you want to continue to use
    X-CD-Roast, or switch back to SCSI-emulation."

    How do we request a response to fix this?
