The drive is definately IDE, and I'm 99% sure it's ATAPI

Undoubtably I'm missing something, if only I can figure it out. The 
wierd thing --- Directly after install of suse 8.1 the links to my 
optical drives were messed up.

	I installed from dvd
	yast would install more progs from dvd
	when I tried to read a cd on the dvd player it refused to mount it

As it turned out SuSE had linked the cdwriter to hdb (which was really 
the dvd) When I sorted the fstab out properly I can access/mount 
cd's on the dvd or on the cdwriter, was able to write to the cdwriter 
but xine, etc would give messages that they can't read the dvd drive.

	hda is 80gb hard drive
	hdb is dvd
	hdc is second 80gb hard drive
	hdd is cdrewriter.
	I cannot turn DMA on for any drives although the option is present in 
yast for the 2 hard drives
	xine-check recommends I turn DMA on for the dvd, see above.

	When I created the link 
	 /dev/sr0 to /dev/dvd 
	xine is willing to play a movie, the sound seems to be at the right 	
speed but the image changes so slowly that I can't even watch to the 	
credits.

I'd like to try this but I'm not sure where to make the change. 
Can you give me a bit more info?

Thanks alot
