despite what i previously wrote, it appears that although reading of disks works perfectly, writing to (at least) a DVD+r with wither cdrecord-prodvd or growisofs is completely broken - i now have 5 very shiny, expensive coasters on my desk.

if i ever get it to work, i will post back.

As of this kernel, the drive works perfectly under linux, except for the drive buffer detection (Only tested with K3B).

Burns CDs, DVD+Rs, and does so and faster than Windows Nero.
I believe that is also true for DVD-R, but haven't tested because I have no such media.

To get it to work, all you must do is change this:

----- include/linux/libata.h -----
#undef ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI

into

#define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI
-------------------------------

and recompile the kernel.
