UPDATE: I reformatted my machine and in doing so realized that not only did I need to create the /etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdc file, but I also had to reinstall the latest drivers from the GATOS project < http://gatos.sourceforge.net/ > -----Original Message----- From: McCallie, Anthony L (Peak) [mailto:Anthony.McCallie@bp.com] Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 6:50 AM To: 'newbie@XFree86.Org' Subject: RE: Redhat 7.3 vs Mandrake 8.2 Finally!!!

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 _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie _______________________________________________ Newbie@XFree86.Org *** To unsubscribe , or change message options, see: http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/newbie
