What video card do you have?

If they do, then I'm not sure what to do about the cd accessing problem. As for the system not responding while burning cd's - there is a way to lower the priority of the process, but I can't remember what it is. Also, I know for a fact the default mandrake kernels DO NOT compile preemptible support. If you know how to compile kernels, may I suggest compiling a 2.6 kernel with preemptible support and dma support both included? > I remember somebody defining 10.0 "speed daemon" so I was quite > negatively impressed by my results.
