I recently installed Suse 9.2 Professional on my AMD Atholon2400 machine
(512 ram). I'm generally pleased with the performance, but have one
nagging issue:
The cd drive an ATAPI COMBO52XMAX will not write to a cd. (it reads data
and plays music CD's fine) I've checked the SuSe knowledge base, and
tried the support email, neither with any luck. I searched the archives
of this list in "Aims", and it seems that several others reported
similar difficulties in 9.2 - but none of the suggested solutions did
the trick. Here is the situation:
-When I click on the "cdrecorder" icon I get an error message in a
dialog box:
The folder contents could not be displayed.
Sorry, couldn't display all the contents of "cdrecorder".
-When I attempt to use K3b to make a data cd I get the following
debugging output:

Apparently the "current driver" list is rather old. Nothing on it
newer than 2 years old, and nothing for listed for this device.
fstab looks like this:

If anyone has any helpful suggestions - it would be greatly appreciated.
