In version 10.3, in YaST Control Centre in the Hardware section there was an entry called "DMA" (or some-such) which gave you the DMA used by the discs and the CDROM and DVD burner. You could also change the DMA for each device. In version 11.0 this option has disappeared - or has it been hidden somewhere else? Anyone know where it is now? I am now testing Beta4 of 11.1 and find that any DVD I try to play skips and stutters just like it did back in 10.3 if the DMA (of the CDROM) was not correctly set. My notes show me how to force the correct DMA in etc/sysconfig/ide but I cannot remember what the command line statement is which will display what DMA is being used by each of the devices. Could someone please refresh my memory?
