DVD playback - Choppy?

Thu Apr 4 00:26:01 2002

Hi,
this was posted to the list a while back, and this from memory is all I had
to do

it came from rserphillips@austin.rr.com
"This is how I managed to do it. 

First check your XFree86-4 file to read
in Screen Section

DefaultDepth 16 

Then make sure you have 

Section "DRI"
            Mode 0666
EndSection

restart X and type
glxinfo | less
see if direct rendering is enabled

let us know if this doesn't work

-Rob"

Im pretty sure i just did all that and it worked and it worked well!,
unfortunelty i manged to criple my machine today, must stop and think before
playing with my working kernel! :) hehe

Thanks Mark-
You may be on to something.
I have Xv enabled and /dev/rdvd for playback.

However, I don't know if direct rendering is set up for the Rage128. My
guess is that this is probably the culprit.

Any idea how to enable this?

Thanks!

Shawn
