[PlanetCCRMA] CD burning under X

I am having a problem trying to burn CDs using either xcdroast or gtoaster on RH9 with all of Planet installed. I'm running on an Athlon 1.1g with a 16x burner. Here's what I've tried so far, and I'd appreciate any help anyone could give ;)

Running either the RH stock kernel or Planet kernel (not in X) I can burn CDs using the following command (as root) ripped from the man page:

cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=0,0 file.img

Works without a problem. However, if I try to use xcdroast/gtoaster as root as soon as I try to burn the CD, the system locks up hard (haven't found any log files yet) with a nicely flashing Caps Lock/Scroll Lock combination (glad for ext3!)
I even turn off the BurnProof, reduce the speed to 4x, etc. When I do a test burn, the only problems I get are when I try to fixate (as mentioned in the man pages) so I disable that.

I do have the NVidia X driver installed (but the same hardware and driver combination work just fine in SuSE 8.2 both with the command line and k3b) if that may be causing some issue.

Thanks for any help!
