Default CDs/DVDs won't mount at all.

I'm using the KDE 4.1 32-bit version of OpenSuSE 11.1 (installed from the liveCD and I added the PAE Kernel for 4GB RAM) and I can't mount CDs/DVDs automatically. When I insert a disc nothing happens and this didn't do this on the x64 Gnome version.

I've added myself to the hal & cdrom group and nothing has changed even after a reboot. Here is the output of groups:

Code:
users wheel audio cdrom video haldaemon
I could manually mount it, even though I don't want to do it every time, but the cdrom drive isn't even in Fstab!

You only need to add yourself to the 'disk' group and all will be well (forget about the others - 'disk' is the only omission in the default setup.
