Yes I've heard this from them also. But my LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1P works fine with openSUSE 11.0 and 10.3. It was recognized at installation and I did not have to do anything special. It bad news when vendors won't support their products. Memorex, Seagate and Maxstor will tell you the same thing. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
