Hi,
the problem might not be with X, but with the DVD-drive. If your DVD drive
is an IDE drive, you should first make sure DMA is enabled on it. (It's
disabled on RH 7.3 by default.) Quoting from a message from Eric Smith on
the ogle-user mailing list:
"The official way to do this is to create a file named
/etc/sysconfig/harddiskhdc .  Use the contents of /etc/sysconfig/harddisks
as a template.  The rc.sysinit script will apply the contents of
/etc/sysconfig/harddisks to hard drives only, but if it sees a file
for a specific drive, it will apply it to that drive even if it is not
a hard drive."
See also "man hdparm" for more info on tuning IDE drives.

Hope this helps,
Levin
