Re: Drive read/write slow

[Dave Gutteridge <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   It occured to me while writing in another thread that Fedora 
installed without delay or problem from on of the DVD drives that it now 
has  difficulty reading.
   I would think this might point to the X Window system as being a 
likely culprit, as that's the main difference, as I understand it, 
between the installation process and the day to day operation.
   However, I also had problems playing AVI files off of DVDs using 
Xine. So perhaps the problem is a more general setting.

   To recap: I have two internal DVD drives, one internal CD writer 
drive, and one external DVD writer drive. I can burn DVDs or CD-ROMs, 
but can not reliably read from any of them. I installed from a DVD 
drive, so Fedora must be able to read from the drives at some level. 
What possible setting could be off?
