DVD Sounds to me like DMA. Which xine are you using? Have you run xine-check? Are you using SATA?

Does anyone have an idea why cpu usage varies constantly, from as low as 4.X % to as high as 20+%? All that I have open at the time of running "top" is the gnome-terminal. The reason why I'm hunting this, is that I just can't seem to play DVD's (using Xine) without choppy playback (sound is fine). I know my laptop is aching - running CentOS 4.4 with a Celeron 800 and 256MB RAM (DMA's turned on), but still - I think it should be able to play DVD's, or not? I have the feeling that the more I can tweak CPU usage, the better my chance of success will be. Any advice would be appreciated. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
