I was having a similar problem on my HP Omnibook Laptop XE2. I was running RH7.3 with Xine. No dice so I got rid of it and upgraded to Mandrake 8.0. This worked and ran my DVD's great, but Mandrake put a funky load on my system that I couldn't resolve and I prefer RH so I reloaded my whole system back to RH 8.0. I got Choppy video. Knowing it worked with Mandrake I began to tweak my system as time permitted. I finally got it to run smooth as silk with Xine, GXine, and Ogle. I did the following. Hopefully it might work for those here.
I first enabled my DMA to 1 and added it to my config as listed on the Xine website, I next upgraded my Kernel to the lastest by Red Hat, then I tweaked Xine by using the tar files as opposed to the rpm, then I tweaked my Hard drives using HDPARM. (See below) and FINALLY, I did some Kernel tuning to make it smooth. I can give you my Kernel tuning but every machine is dif so you'll have to play with it for your particular pc. My laptop is HP Omnibook XE2 with a Intel 500 MHz PROC, 256 MB RAM with a 12 GB HD and DVD. My swap partition is set for 512 K Hope this helps some of you [root@Orion root]# [root@Orion root]# hdparm -c3 -d1 -k1 /dev/dvd /dev/dvd: setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 3 setting using_dma to 1 (on) setting keep_settings to 1 (on) IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 1 (on) [root@Orion root]# [root@Orion root]# hdparm -c3 -d1 -m16 -k1 /dev/hda /dev/hda: setting 32-bit IO_support flag to 3 setting multcount to 16 setting using_dma to 1 (on) setting keep_settings to 1 (on) multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 3 (32-bit w/sync) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 1 (on) [root@Orion root]# By the way Funny how Mandrake 8 worked out the box while I had to mess around with Red Hat. Makes someone want to Bechmark huh? Quote: I'm so far behind I think I'm in front !!! |
