I'm runnig Xv and DMA is enabled on my DVD drive. My screen has 16 bit=20
colours. It's not only DVD it's the same with Divx movies.
I don't know if i'm using accelerated X. I've got speed problems in tux r=
acer=20
to. Tux doesn't see my 3D card so maybe X is not accelerated. Do you know=
 how=20
to check this?
Also I'd like to see a YDL tweak guide or something like that.
