Choppy video in Ogle 9.1

I am running Ogle 9.1 on a Debian Unstable system, on an AMD Athlon 1Ghz laptop with a Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/XP video card (trident driver); I am also using devfs and ide-scsi. When playing a video in Ogle, the sound is perfect but the video is choppy. Strangely enough, when I play the same DVD in VLC, the video is perfect but the sound is choppy. Arrgh. I assume, from what I have read, that this is likely a dma problem. I have read the FAQ, and gone through the mailing lists, and following the instructions there I have done the following: 1. Made sure I had ogle-mmx installed 2. Tried to turn on the dma on the dvd drive. Problem is, I'm really not sure what the right address for the thing is. My DVD/CDRW is (according to K3B, in any case) at the following location: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd which unfortunately isn't good enough for hdparm: # hdparm -d1 /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd not supported by hdparm I tried the following: # hdparm -d1 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: setting using_dma to 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) Which seemed to turn something on somewhere. Is this the DVD drive? It made no difference to the choppy video in Ogle or choppy sound in VLC. I then tried: # hdparm -d1 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/generic /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/generic: setting using_dma to 1 (on) HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted using_dma = 0 (off) So, I'm at a bit of a loss. I am guessing that in order to get smooth video AND sound, I will have to figure out how to turn on dma on the dvd/cdrw drive. How to do that seems to be beyond me. Any suggestions? Thanks, B.
