[xdm slow startup]
The answer appears to be to add an empty LISTEN statement to
/usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xaccess. The xdm package issues a IPV6 DHCP request.
While the xdm man page suggests this is not needed:
To disable listening for XDMCP connections altogther, a line of
LISTEN with no addresses may be specified, or the previously
supported method of setting DisplayManager.requestPort to 0 may
be used.
This seems not to be the case as adding this line gets rid of the long delay
and suppresses the IPV6 DHCP request. The DisplayManager.requestPort is set
to 0 in the default configuration. This solves the long start (I am pretty
sure). Thank you for your suggestions that pushed me to find this.
Hmm. That sounds like a bug (maybe IPV6 support being added but the
feature to disable it being forgotten). Does having an IPV6 localhost
defined in /etc/hosts ("::1 localhost") have the same effect?
I am also pretty sure my hardware just does not work with hal and dbus.
What keyboard and mouse do you have? Also, which version of FreeBSD are
you using?
