Can't erase/burn discs in Z5L

Hi guys.

Just to let you know, Z5L doesn't seem to like my Toshiba TS-L462 CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive. It's a laptop drive fitted to the small-form-factor Dell GX620, and I can't get xfburn, brasero or Gnome CD Master to blank discs (or burn them).

(g)ddccontrol doesn't seem fond of my Radeon 3450 graphics card either, as it won't run with it (or my Hanns G HU196D monitor).

The standard Xorg Radeon driver runs fine, but ATI's own driver causes tearing in DVD playback, and setting that driver to tear-free just causes slow, choppy playback.

Cheers, Jon.

Hi Jon,

1. you may have a burnt out burner. (pardon the pun!)
2. have you also tried k3b?.

Regards Wolfman :D
