[MPlayer-users] dvd and -fs

[en ne]

Dear Haas, 

I don t want to sound polemic, but I have the feeling
that YOU are the one who doesn't read or understands
emails... I said:

I tried all the options of hdparm, IT WORKED with a 
previous DISTRO, the best performance of my drive was
reached with hdparm -d1 -u1 -X34 -a8. THEN I installed
the NEW RH and the NEW Mplayer. THEN I tuned with
hdparm AGAIN (trying out all possible options).

DVDs skip.

I asked (I think kindly) for some help. 
Glad if someone can help me, otherwise.. no problem.
No need of someone who thinks everybody is an idiot...

Cheers
