Re: DMA no active on HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD

The output is the same and my drive is set to WMDA2. It's run faster then
PIO4.

I was trying to verify what I have done, by reinstalling Linux on my
mechine.
The result :
On Linux my drive is using DMA (not UDMA or WDMA) and run smoother when
playing DVD. I use MPlayer from CVS and compile for FreeBSD and Linux. I use
fedora on it with xorg 7 build-in while FreeBSD using xorg 7 from CVS. The
exception for this is Fedora using DRI and FBSD 7 not using DRI.

What benchmark test for disk that do not depend on something and can be
compiled for FBSD and Linux ?
