I am now on Kernel 2.6.32-26

For me 16x CD write speed is okay.

I have old hardware which was able to write DVDs at 1x, back in previous linux version.

Now, I dont get speed of less than 4x.

Tested on k3b, xfburn, and brasero. But all start at bottom 4x write speed. k3b forced back to 4x.

Tried on the cli tools like: growisofs, wodim, cdrecord, dvdrecord, makedvd. The speed forced back to 4x.

EXAMPLE:

~$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J -speed=1 /~/data2
Executing 'genisoimage -R -J /~/data2 | builtin_dd of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0'

>>>>>>>>> It seems the problem is in the device detection or configuration.

How can I do it?

Thanks in advance.....

Can anyone guide me, where to find the device configuration.

/etc/hdparm.conf

doent seems to help out.
