Is the LG GGC-H20L Blu-Ray HD-DVD drive compatible with linux/MythTv?

I'd really like to add HD-DVD/Blu-Ray functionality to my mythtv setup, but
until now I haven't been able to find a HD-DVD drive. Then I stumbled
across this today:

http://www.ncixus.com/products/index.php?sku=26553

Anyone know if it'll work in linux? Any DVD/CD drive I've plugged in always
just "works", but this is a slightly different animal. I'm not sure if
different drivers are required...

thanks,
darren

Blu-Ray is working:

and your driver should probably work, but it is complicated:
