Re: Re: K3b cannot see DVD Burner

Hmm. I am not sure the best /dev/? setup to use. There is an "Add
Device" in Settings -> Devices but I am not sure what to put in there.
When I mount a cd from the drive it mounts to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, but
k3b does not like that for the writer device.

I do see the DVD-RW get loaded in dmesg. Is there a good way to see
exactly what the /dev mapping is?
