I've recently bought a new laptop with a dvd/cdrw combo drive. The playback of DVDs is not very good. The movie stops for a short while every few seconds, maybe best described as choppy. On my previous laptop I could use the following command to turn DMA on
$ hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc Then the playback was prefect. This isn't supported with my new drive. Do anybody have a suggestion of how I can improve dvd-playback? (In grub it says hdc=ide-scsi, /dev/cdrom points /dev/scd0.) If I try the command on hda I get a message saying /dev/hda: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) The same happens if I try that on /dev/hdc. -- Øystein Olsen, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, http://www.astro.uio.no University of Oslo, Norway _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
