Are there any ide-DMA like tweeks for SATA drives? Are they necessary / Advisable? Trying to figure why xine gets pauses all the time in a machine that has an Intel Sata controller IDE. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

I don't have SATA but I get pauses in xine all the time and this is caused (in my case) by smart doing its upgrade checks. Intensive I/O activity seems to upset xine.

Yes.......I use Smart, but NOT the "sniffer!" The other factor are bad video drivers! Fred -- MickySoft, the ultimate corporate parasite. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
