Got a USB DVD-burner... bad idea?!

[gavinfoxx]

I just got a LiteON EZ-DUB external usb dvd/ cd rewritable drive, expecting it to, well, do SOMETHING when I plug it in via usb to my Mini 9 (8.04). Its model DX-20A4PU. What do I do to get, well, SOMETHING to happen with this thing?! Or do I have to return it?

can you post the output of lsusb

[EDIT] And is it being recognized at all? Have you tried Brasero or K3B? Does it show up in the places tab?
