IMO it's much better to tell X to run on the same VT (i.e. the first
one), start X with "background none" and use the same background. Then
you have a flicker free boot and user has the feeling that boot was
much faster then it really was.


Unrelated question about exquisite: why aren't you using an abstract
socket to communicate with exquisite?

"2. You need a /tmp directory for the UNIX socket that is used to talk to
exquisite. The exquisite-write utility sends messages to exquisite via a UNIX
domain socket created in /tmp. This needs to be writable for exquisite to
start."

This implies that you need to have /tmp mounted or a writable / early
on boot sequence. If you use abstract sockets you can start exquisite
earlier. With dietsplash I use this and run the run the splash even
before handing off to the init process.
