2.6.9 and cdrtools, is it fixed?

Hello everybody.
I am currently using 2.6.7 because with 2.6.8.1 I couldn't burn discs. Does anybody know if this is fixed with 2.6.9? Sorry for asking but compiling the kernel in my machine takes "years" so I think it could be better to share your experience...

Buring works, but I could only burn as root (SuSE, k3b). So I switched back to 2.6.7

It's always been working with k3b. I am talking about cdrtools....

I failed to get it to work with 2.6.8.1 using cdrtools source downloaded ~1 month ago. Holding at 2.6.7 for now :-)

cdrtools seem to work fine under my kernel. 2.6.9-gentoo-r1, cdrtools 2.01. Maybe it's the gentoo patch.

I had an error-msg with a self-compiled 2.6.9 kernel and installed the cdrtools-2.01_non_root_use-i486-1pcx.tgz package and now everything runs well. Hope it helps.

Yeah, the default gentoo packages is for non-root use. That could be a key point, to check the right package/source. What kind of error messages do you all get?

On Slack cdrtools works fine, but I have not tried it as a normal user coz I use sudo to run it.
