Dear All, I've met a problem about xorg server initialization on some systems: if xorg server is started before hald finished it's initialization, xorg server's init would fail.
When hald is started in daemon mode, it forks into background and returns immediately. In the background it needs some time for initialization before it's usable. If the X is started right after hald like this (in init script): hald --daemon=yes startx # hald can't finish init in such a short time X would fail: (EE) config/hal: couldn't initialise context: (null) ((null)) since hald haven't finished it's internal init and is not accessable then. I suggest we add a short (5 seconds) busy-wait if hald is not usable. -- Li, Yan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
