  Hi Neill,

Yep, you do seem to be the only one that has got DVD working on a Pismo 400.

I have just managed to re-compile the kernel, adding in OSS support with 
persitant DMA as per one of
your earlier suggestions, but there is no difference to playback speed.

Is there anything else that I can check/add to the kernel. Xine says it 
is usinf Xv, so not sure what to do there.

By the way, are you **absolutly** sure that your improvement was not 
after you installed DRI and it's associated
side-affect of DMA on Xv? ;-)

I seem to have accelerated video, as per your suggestion below: 
XFree86.0.log Says it is loaded. I have attached my
xvinfo for you to have a look at.

Thanks for your help.
