just anecdotally, i haven't seen the shutdown hang since i started running bobby's bootanim. i presume the race against X is still there, but whether because of overall timing or a narrowing of the window, is just not hit anymore. dan -- have you considered trying to create a new console ioctl to help avoid this? a variant of VT_WAITACTIVE with a timeout, perhaps? it's such an old problem... paul =--------------------- paul fox, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
