Dear All, This small kernel patch: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.usb.general/9923
fixes the problem where I found that the initialisation of the speaker appeared to wait for the initialisation of the mouse to complete, as discussed here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.input/5751 This takes my total boot time from the end of grub to the xdm login dialog being visible down to 15 seconds. I have posted a new bootgraph here: http://chezphil.org/tmp/bootgraph2.svg My current bootchart can be seen at: http://chezphil.org/tmp/bootchart2.svg It's clear from this that even my stripped-down udev setup is taking some time. I believe that logsave is hiding an fsck process. I'm unsure why portmap and rpc.statd are not postponed until after xdm had started; I'll look in to that. But there are two really significant things still left: the BIOS time (9 seconds I think when I measured it) and the X startup. The bootchart shows Xorg starting at about t=6s, but it's another 9s before I see the xdm login dialog. My understanding is that kernel mode-setting is the solution to that. Does anyone know about the status of that in Debian? Is everyone seeing approximately this much time spent in X initialisation, or can it be improved by Xorg.conf tweaking? Cheers, Phil. _______________________________________________ Debian-eeepc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-eeepc-devel
