In nautilus-cd-burner or hal-device-manager, the maximum burning speed displayed can sometimes be wrong since it's not updated on new medium insertion. That happens when the new medium is not of the same type as the one that was in the drive when HAL started. For example: start hald with a rewritable CDRW. Most of the time the maximum burning speed is 10x. Now insert a writable CDR and the maximum burning speed will still be 10x even though it should be much higher. Restart hald and then the right speed will be displayed. It also works the other way round. That's why it seems to me, but I may be wrong, that HAL doesn't ask the drive the maximum speed on new medium insertion.
I have submitted two patches to the HAL ML to fix this issue: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2007-August/009400.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2007-August/009401.html
fixed in git HEAD now
great thanks.
