Although I do have pulldown menus, I am unable to change anything.  I can't 
alter the default settings at all.  I can highlight the entry, but cannot 
delete the contents of the value box, or enter any new values.  Having the 
powertweak feature in Yast is useless if I can't make any changes on any of 
the sections listed in powertweak.  It just shows me the default info.

How do I set DMA for my drives?  How can I change the read-latency?
