    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!
