Can you please provide more information on what the "DMA" is exactly? This may be a duplicate of bug #173960

Comment 2 usrrgt 2009-08-11 11:15:50 UTC

No, it isn't a duplicate.
DMA = Direct Memory Access. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_memory_access

There is no need to touch such low level settings now.
