Hmmm, what is the output of "hdparm /dev/hdd" and "hdparm -i /dev/hdd"?

ok, i have installes ogle on red hat 8 box with a celery 700Mhz CPU and 128 M of RAM, now i am getting no sound and v. jerky picture, and resizing the display window doesn't change anything.

I know nothing about this, can anybody help me in any way here. The sound card works fine and other apps can make sound fine.

Thanks et c. in advance.

Here is the low down on Ogle's jerkiness. Simply put, its just not a very high quality player. I had it running just fine with sound and everything on my 400 mhz laptop with Mandrake Linux 9.0, but the picture wasnt nearly as smooth as I had hoped. I remember reading a review of Ogle a while back and the reviewer complained of the same thing. Anyway check out this screenshot of it in mandrake. I was watching AntiTrust.

i don't mind if the picture quality lowers a bit if i can make the jerkiness go away. i will try that dma thing when i am back at home and when i have recovered from this cold, also i am having some funny sound problems too. i am thinking perhaps the sound issue with dvds has something to do with red hat not including any mp3 playing stuff in their OS? isn't the audio stream of a dvd mp3? also, i needed to change the output plugin for xmms from OSS to Arts to get it to work, but i still cannot get cdp or Kscd to work. they play the CD ok it seems, but i cannot hear it. i wonder why?   :confused:

this is what i get when i use those two commands void main
