i'm trying to play DVDs. i should have the hardware for it -- an AMD
Duron 950 MHz; an ATI rage fury pro video card; 512M of RAM. but,
xine and ogle both appear to be dropping frames.
i ran across this post[1] (granted, from debian-powerpc) which
suggests that it was just a bug in xine, and i need to upgrade. (but
then why would ogle exhibit the same behaviour?) i'm running libxine0
v0.9.8-2.
that same thread also suggests that this might be a DMA issue (which
VERA seems to define as "digital memory access"). how can i enable
that? ogle's faq[2] says to just the following line
options ide-cd dma=1
to /etc/modules.conf, but that seems wrong to me, since that file is
generated by update-modules.
thanks for your help!
