To John and Jon. Yep. Did this and solved it. Halved both the read and write times for the drive and smooth as silk, no stutter, jerk, or frame jumps.
One of us should write it up, and submit it to Togan so it can go in the Unofficial FAQ...
Does everybody concur that the complete fix is
a: get the pakcages from packman.links2linux.de b: set dma=on for /dev/hd<whatever> c: lower the value of ELEVATOR_READ_LATENCY
About c:
Has anyone tried with anything other than 64?

Cheers, Jon Clausen
Actually, my settings are all still the same from the stock installation, and Xine plays very well for me...no jerkiness, stutters, or anything bad at all. I have dma enabled on my DVD and CD-RW drives, and have a Hercules 3D Prophet2 MX400 graphics card (NVidia) with NVidia's drivers installed. The whole Xine on my system is from packman. So I don't know whay some people are having troubles and some aren't. But you're right...it'd still be good for the FAQ for the folks who *do/are* having troubles.

They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+41NTH5oDXyLKXKQRAutcAKC7WBAVMPhptbUeaU/l6RMffUjiwQCfek4U 42cP6VF455H9/dwHuAgrNVM= =c1Dr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
