  The media kioslave now mounts all filesystems that support charset conversion
  with charset conversion turned on, set to the locale from the user's
  environment (LANG). If you are using a customized kernel configuration, make
  sure all *_iconv kernel modules are available. At the time of writing, these
  are cd9660_iconv, udf_iconv, msdosfs_iconv and ntfs_iconv.

The HAL option has been turned on by default and the fstabbackend
patches which have kept the fstab backend for the media kioslave
at the status quo of KDE 3.5.3 have been removed. This means that

MOUNTING DEVICES THROUGH KDE WILL NO LONGER WORK WITHOUT HAL.

Thus if you wish to use device icons or the media:/ view in konqueror,
make sure to turn on the HAL option in the x11/kdebase3 port and also
read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20061219 and
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q19 for more information on
using HAL.

KDE 3.5.5 has been committed to ports.

If you choose to enable the HAL backend for the media kioslave,
you should enable dbus, hal and policy kit during system startup.
To do this, add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf:

dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"

Notes / known problems about mounting devices in media:/ with HAL enabled:

- Your user must be in group operator in order to be able to mount removable
media.

- Removable media drives (such as CD-ROM drives) *MUST NOT* be listed in
/etc/fstab in order to be mountable.

- If you mount a volume by double-clicking it, it may appear empty. Refresh
the fileview in konqueror to see the files.

- Mounting floppies is currently not supported.

You can still mount them in KDE if ...

- You have an fstab entry for your floppy pointing to a mountpoint
owned by your user (i.e. somewhere in your homedir)
- The vfs.usermount sysctl is set to 1

... by creating a floppy device icon on your KDE desktop and selecting
the above-mentioned fstab entry in the device dropdown list on the
device tab.

- Mounting volumes from fixed drives is prohibited for non-superusers
by default.
