i had this exact problem not too long ago. kde is weird like that. here's
what i had to do:
i edited my fstab to include these two identical lines:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrw auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /mnt/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
the cdrom line is for the desktop icon, the dvd line is for k3b (if you're
using it). and the cdrw line is for your re-writer.
the next thing you have to do is specifiy the right icon (if you care) so the
dvd and cdr icons will be used on your desktop for the right drives:
edit the following files:
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdrom_mounted.desktop
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdrom_unmounted.desktop
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdwriter_mounted.desktop
/usr/kde/3.1/share/mimelnk/kdedevice/cdwriter_unmounted.desktop
and change the "Icon=" line to be whatever icon you'd like. for my purposes,
i used:
dvd_mount
dvd_umount
cdwriter_mount
cdwriter_unmount
and that should be all you need. you may need to run "configure desktop"
again and select to un-display those devices then display them again for the
new icons to take effect, but it should work.
if anyone knows of a better way to do this, ie. how to add a dvd type (i tried
copying the cdrom_mounted.desktop file, renaming it dvd_mounted.desktop and
editing it for the new icon, but it didn't work) it would be much
appreciated.
