    I struggled for several hours configuring my new 9.1 system to burn CD's
    through K3B as a normal user. It all comes down to "resmgr", which,
    unfortunately, has almost non-existent *usable* documentation. The
    bottom line is that you may need to edit /etc/resmgr.conf. The trick is
    the "paride" and "scsi" options. I realize that I'm probably in the
    minority on this list, but I have mostly-SCSI systems. If the CD drives
    that you're wanting to use for reading and burning are SCSI, you'll need
    to make sure that resmgr.conf has "scsi" on the line instead of "paride"
    (which is probably a safe assumption most of time). For instance, the
    relevant section from my conf file is:

    add /dev/cdrom desktop paride
    add /dev/cdrom1 desktop paride
    add /dev/cdrom11 desktop scsi
    add /dev/cdrecorder desktop
    add /dev/dvd desktop scsi
    add /dev/dvd1 desktop paride
    add /dev/sr0 desktop
    add /dev/sr1 desktop
    add /dev/sr2 desktop
    add /dev/sr3 desktop

    I actually do have an IDE "cdrom", but I don't have a "cdrom1". The
    "cdrom11" and "dvd" are both SCSI, and burning with K3B wouldn't work
    until I added the "scsi" option to them both. (Or changed the option, as
    the case may be; I've already forgotten.)

    Just a tip, since it cost me so much time.

    Regards,
    dk
