Hi, DMA is enabled as far as I can see.
hdparm report "Capabilities" as : DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5*udma6 Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns dmesg shows : ata2: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x170 ctl 0x376 bmdma 0xBFA8 irq 15 ata2: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/33 ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/33 I think problem may be more to do with the yv12 overlays. But I find it surprising that this should not be supported by the fglrx-driver or the VESA driver. I am not sure how I can confirm this or find a workaround. regards b thomas On Sat, May 20, 2006 at 07:00:14PM +1000, Takis Diakoumis wrote: > i know this was just posted up but... > > it really sounds like the dvd isn't running in DMA mode. i had this > problem on my thinkpad at first, dvd would be choppy as you suggest, > music i played would also be. fixed it by enabling DMA on the drives - > in my case it was actually using the wrong kernel module for the drives. > > check the output of dmesg (as suggested by another) or the output of > hdparm -I > > hope this helps. > > Takis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
