Re: PS/2 mouse lagging



blacktop:/home/mandingo# for i in a b; do hdparm -d 1 /dev/hd$i; done

/dev/hda:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma    =  0 (off)

/dev/hdb:
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
 HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
 using_dma    =  0 (off)
blacktop:/home/mandingo# 

It won't let me. Do I have to enable something in the kernel?
