PROBLEMS

1-	How do i find my dvd driver in the ogle program? Look in the menu for the optie 'bestand' then take 'open schijf.' If that don't word than take the optie 'open' go to the directorie /dev/hdc and open that one.
2-	When i look to the movie it stops some times'? Is your DMA of your dvd player on ON ? You can check this with hdparm (hdparm -d device name) if you have enabled DMA on the DVD drive. hdparm -d 1 device name to turn dma on. And if you use redhat 8.0 then you better can take the optie: In your /etc/modules.conf file write the line: options ide_cd dma=1
3-	The screen is steel not good? i have a geforce videocard Use the programme 'xvattr' use it with the optie xvattr -a XV_DOUBLE_BUFFERS -v 0
