Xine troubles part 2

[notext]

Finally get Xine .12 working and experiance massive stuttering of video and audio. So, I decide to try to get .13 working. Get it to work as well and stuttering is still there.

I figure maybe to do with DMA so I try to turn DMA on using hdparm but it doesn't work

bash-2.05a# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hdc

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

I also have DMA as default option in kernel.

I have never had this problem, even with gentoo being installed previously.

p3 650
512mb ram
intel 815 mb (asus)
nvidia geforce2 with latest nvidia drivers.

Any help appreciated.

Have you compiled in the kernel support for your (specific) IDE Controller?

[notext]

yes?

I can get it to do DMA on the hd, it just won't do it on the dvd (pioneer dvd-114).

I have no idea why it won't let me turn DMA on.

Okay solved the problem.

I had compiled "Use DMA for disk only" in the kernel and didn't notice it.

Changing this allowed me to use DMA on the dvd and solved the stuttering of video/audio.

Hey notext how did you get xine-ui and xine-dvdnav to compile? I tried to get them compiled but they keep aborting. I tried both gentoo 1.2 and 1.4. no mater which ebuild I use.

yes I do have dvd in my make.conf, I'm thinking when I emerge xine-lib I would normally find the xine execute file in /usr/bin but looking in /usr/bin I don't see the xine execute file but yet xine-lib compiled without any errors (maybe I forgot to mention that I'm using gentoo 1.4 with gcc 3.2) anyways here is the so called error message..
