Re:2 - I find that my CD/DVD goes AWOL if I have hdparm started on boot. I think this may be because of settings I have tried to apply when fooling with hdparm to get DVD playback working (Which I still am stumped with) but CD playing, and reading and writing CDs/DVDs work:
So I'm not sure if this is helpful but: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/dvd /dev/dvd: setting using_dma to 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) I must be missing something simple with the DVD Playback. gxine attempts to start playing but hangs or errors on starting to spin up disc. Don't know where to go with this. Can I get confirmation that DVD playback is not problematic?
