Been working on getting FC5 working on my new dual-boot Dell Insipron
6400. Down to these two problems:
1. I can't hear any sound.
2. When the DVD-ROM is in use, system response (i.e. mouse cursor) is sluggish.
The machine is an Intel Duo 1.8Ghz with 1G ram and 100G SATA drive,
ATI 1300 display, with the usual collection of peripherals. I've
updated it to the latest RPMs too.
Any help would be appreciated.
-- sound --
My 6400 has a Sigmatel STAC9200 (snd_hda_intel) in it. The driver
loads fine, the utilities act as if they're making sound, nothing
comes out of the speakers. Yes, it's not muted (checked). Yes, the
volume is set (77%). Yes, the speakers work (sound is fine in WinXP).
No, the mute/up/down Fn-Keys do nothing. Yes, I've gone right from
WinXP sound to reboot to FC5, didn't help.
Headphones don't work either.
-- dvd-rom --
Speed tests show that the dvd-rom is maxing out at 1.2 Mb/s, both for
DVD-ROM disks and CD-ROM disks. When I try to play a movie with
Totem, the movie is jerky, as is mouse response. If I insert the FC5
dvd and just "dd if=... of=/dev/null" a bunch of files, I get the same
response - 1.2Mb/s and a jerky mouse.

I'm also getting some of these in my logs:

setting using_dma to 1 (on)

using_dma = 0 (off)
Again, under Windows the DVD seems to operate much faster and without
stalling the system.
Ideas?
Not helpful, but ...
Device is using udma2 mode, but you can't set dma. Looks like the IDE
driver is dazed and confused. What kernel version? What chipset is
this IDE running on? This is a laptop right? Anything interesting in
the logs when you boot the system?

John
