This bug reads:
In the above report,
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-hotplug-devel&m=109783336527621&w=2)
the user says that udev does not create the NVidia device nodes fast
enough for the X server started by KDM to use them.
There is no official upstream answer, but I guess that "put the startup
of your display manager into /etc/dev.d scriptlet instead of the
initscript" would be the most consistent with the whole udev ideology.
----------
I am proposing that we merely add a wrapper similar to RH's prefdm:
cat >> /bin/my-dm << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
while [ ! -e /dev/nvidia0 ]; do
sleep 1
done
exec kdm $*
EOF
chmod 700 /bin/my-dm
-------
At this point we only need to add the following to /etc/inittab:
# Run xdm in runlevel 5
x:5:respawn:/bin/my-dm
Of course the user could substitute either of {x,g}dm for kdm if desired.
This would be a much simpler method than the complications of udev that
have come up recently with alsa.
Opinions?
