If anyone cares :) problem is solved by adjusting the KDE configuration file for kscd. It still remains a mystery why it chose this odd device as the default. Second point is that I stated in can play CD's with cdplay console app. I can. But according to the manual page I should not be able to since it is for SCSI devices only. The only SCSI device I have is a HD. So make of that what you will... -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
