I used the package not the port but you're right, the port should
get it right. FWIW, I've found my kscdrc file (it didn't get removed
by pkg_delete). The file can be found in ~/.kde/share/config. The
entry for the CD device is:
[GENERAL]
CDDevice=/dev/cd0c
Note the section heading in [], a la Windows INI files. Also, as
you can see, it's not the raw device maybe it's changed in 1.1?.
One other thing that was broken in 1.0 but may now be fixed
is that the CDDB wouldn't get data from the CDDB servers.
Below is something I found on the KDE mailing archives at
http://www.kde.org:
Check out the patches in the bug list area. I've posted
a couple of patches in the descriptions to the source to
fix the problems I was having. The first one changes a
string in cddb.cpp (around line 276 and another around line
519) from Kscd to kscd (change in capitalization). For
some reason, the CDDB servers do not like the string with
a capital letter?!?!?
Secondly, there's a change to move some connect lines from
one location in the source to another. The connect functions
were getting executed every time you put a CD into the
drive (they seemed to be designed only to be executed once).
This has the effect of KSCD being able to do a lookup the
first (and sometimes the second) time you put a CD into
the drive, but usually after the third disk, it cannot do
a lookup and needs to be restarted.
See bug #s kb1511 and kb1510 for more info
If you need more info, lemme know.
