LG fails to support Linux with its CD-ROM firmware

<< < (2/3) > >>

Refalm:
LG is basically saying "It's your fault because we don't provide Linux drivers, so the LG drive should be unsupported in Linux.". Screw that. If the OSS community waited for official drivers than we'd had no KDE or Gnome running good.

mobrien_12:
LG has no excuse for reusing an ATAPI standard command such as "Flush-cache" to rewrite their firmware.  

Thats like building a car that maps the hazard light switch to valve that dumps out all your engine oil.  If I had one of those drives I'd probably sue.


You shouldn't need a special driver to run your ATAPI CDROM.  The days of proprietary CDROM drives and drivers are GONE.

Not your fault. I just thought my topic would catch peoples attention with the title "Mandrake 9.2 Destroys LG DVD Drive".

What do you know, it was fixed.
