/dev/cdrom is not an accual device, it's just a symbolic link to the real
device. If you have an IDE cdrom, the correct decive is /dev/hda, /dev/hdb,
/dev/hdc, or /dev/hdd for the primary master, primary slave, seccondary

This is what I use on my iMac DV with XFree86 4.0.3. You may not want
the short monitor timeout, but I like it to turn off quickly when I'm

Also, it's designed to work with Linux i386 keycodes, so you may need
to adjust for that.
