More
information: TDE handles a HAL eject and a TDEHWLib
eject the exact same way, via a call to kdeeject, which then calls
eject. As eject used to rely on HAL, I would not be a bit surprised if
the
'eject' binary is broken on Slackware 14 (the ioctl errors would support
this
hypothesis).
At this point I don't think eject is broken. As mentioned in a previous
post, eject and icon disappearance is working on Slackware 14 with Xfce
4.10 and KDE 4.8.5. More, Slackware 14 is being heavily tested by many
people and nobody is reporting breakage with eject.
Can you try using kdeeject from the command line on your CD drive to see
if it works at all?
Thanks!
