I've just wiped my hard disk installation of Knoppix and installed Debian Stable then upgraded to unstable with a 2.4.18 kernel.
In Debian X won't start with the ati driver so I'm using the vesa driver. When I play DVDs the X11 video output manages to play a DVD but very poor quality. the xvidix and xv video outputs both do nothing at all.
What should I try next?
Is DMA switched on for the DVD drive? Thats my only suggestion I'm afraid (apart from suggesting that you should play with the ati driver some more).
(I would insert the hdparm options you need to use to check DMA but I haven't got it installed on my box ATM (just moved back to LFS, and have finally managed to compile KDE. yay!))
