[ltp] DVDs too slow on R31

[Bob Toxen]

When I try to play DVDs on my R31 using the ThinkPad DVD reader, they
have VERY choppy video and audio.  I'm running a kernel and X that
are not optimized for the R31 ThinkPad.  I'm about to try a kernel that
a friend built that he claims will resolve the "no MTRR" (sic) problem.

Can someone provide the X configuration, etc. necessary?  I'd gladly
take any advice on kernel configurations, etc.  I can live with
turning X off for playing DVDs and using, is it Mplayer, if this
is easier.

Thanks VERY much,
