Hi, the problem might not be with X, but with the DVD-drive. If your DVD drive is an IDE drive, you should first make sure DMA is enabled on it. (It's disabled on RH 7.3 by default.) Quoting from a message from Eric Smith on the ogle-user mailing list: "The official way to do this is to create a file named /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdc . Use the contents of /etc/sysconfig/harddisks as a template. The rc.sysinit script will apply the contents of /etc/sysconfig/harddisks to hard drives only, but if it sees a file for a specific drive, it will apply it to that drive even if it is not a hard drive." See also "man hdparm" for more info on tuning IDE drives. Hope this helps, Levin On Thu, 4 Jul 2002 18:40:15 -0500 "McCallie, Anthony L (Peak)" <Anthony.McCallie@BP.com> wrote: > Has anyone else run into this? > I am running Redhat 7.3 on a Fujitsu E-Series laptop with an ATI Rage > 128/16M card > When I was running Mandrake 8.2, I could play DVD's flawlessly, but in > Redhat, the screen is very choppy > and locks up sometimes regardless which software I use. _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
