Public bug reported:
I've a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 Notebook...
it's old.. but not that old to give message like this while playing video:
[00000304] ffmpeg decoder error: more than 5 seconds of late video ->
dropping frame (computer too slow ?)
or with mplayer
************************************************
**** Your system is too SLOW to play this! ****
************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds:
[snip]
with dapper the system was really fast! I started having some problem then
simply enabled DMA and all goes fast..
this WAS my /etc/hdparm.conf
command_line {
hdparm -q -m16 -q -W0 -q -d1 /dev/hda
}
since edgy the new wrapper for using EIDE disk as SATA disk this is not useful
anymore
my /dev/hda is become /dev/sda
I can't use hdparm with it since it's a SATA disk for the system
i don't know if this is the problem.. but when there is disk usage the system
become bloody slow..
mouse stuck all stuck and then smooth again for some second.. that it stuck
again
example: I write text but I see it all at once after a while...
if i take a window and drag it i can see all frozen but after a while i see the
window on another place..
exactly the same that happen without DMA
now i can't stand it anymore... so i'm writing this hoping for help..
here some info on my system
