Re: xine/ogle/mplayer slow dvd video output

correct me if I'm wrong but I think 8.1 chooses grub as the default
bootloader not lilo..
In which case you shoyld be looking for the /etc/grub.conf file

    Thanks for your reply John, 
    
    I just looked at my lilo.conf and there is no mention of either my dvd 
    or my cdwriter.
    I have no "append=" lines currently so I guess I'll look into the 
    available options I'll let you know how it turns out.
    
    thanks

    BTW
    
    hda is 80gb hard drive
    hdb should be dvd
    hdc is second 80gb hard drive
    hdd should be cdrewriter.
    
    I can mount and use all of my devices but can't turn dma on for any of 
    them.
    
    ps sorry if you got this reply twice, I'm still trying to get the suse
