Also, I do NOT have "/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules"

I am running Fedora 17 (fresh install, not an upgrade) fully updated, with KDE as
my desktop.

You won't have 70-persistent-cd.rules in F17.  I've not seen where/how F17 generates
the links and/or keeps them consistent across boots.

However, if you have /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/sr0 and both the button and command
fails to eject then I would first determine if a process has the device open.  If
not, then I'd start suspecting a problem.

Have a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771120

Hello, Ed
After I read the above linked bug, I found this all on my own...
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=116180

To sum it up, I did the following:
1. Before I made the following changes, I pushed the eject button on my DVD drive. Like it usually does, the drive did NOT open.

2. I then added this to the end of "/etc/sysctl.conf":
"# Eject CD-ROM By Using the Eject Button
dev.cdrom.lock=0

"

3. Ran "/sbin/sysctl -p" to re-load "/etc/sysctl.conf"

4. Eject button now works!
