Compatible DVD-RW DL drives?

What manufacturers support Linux or have Linux drivers available for their DVD-RW DL drives?
What DVD-RW DL drives are currently compatible with Linux?

Hi,

you don't need special Linux drivers for dvd drives or burners, just plug it in and use it.
I use a LG DVDRAM GSA-4163B, works perfectly burning cds and dvds using K3b.

Re: Compatible DVD-RW DL drives?

yes, it does look like DL drives are supported in k3b. My new, inexpensive HP dvd840 lightscribe unit is listed as supporting dual layer in k3b's device section. (in edgy). I have not tried to burn dual layer yet, however

As a side note the drive is also lightscribe-capable using Lacie's new Linux software, but it works in Dapper not edgy atm
