All graphical CD-Burning programs for Linux (afaik) are just frontends
to the program 'cdrecord'. *Important* You will probably need run the
CD-R programs as root, not as a regular user. If you've tried this and
still have problems, take a look at this:

For IDE devices, they basically pretend to be scsi devices using the
ide-scsi module. Take a look at /boot/lilo.conf or
/boot/grub/grub.conf, depending on what you use, and look for something
like 'hdX=ide-scsi' where the X is the letter for your CD-burner
(primary slave is hdb, secondary master is hdc, secondary slave is hdd)

Most distrobutions will automatically set all that up for your
automatically, but if that is not there anywhere, then you will have to
put it in manually. If that's the case, let us know whether you are
using lilo or grub and someone can probably help you - if you could copy
and paste your .conf file, that would be helpful too. Also, run
'cdrecord -scanbus' (as root) and let us know that output as well.

Regards,
Justin
