Re: X server takes 45 seconds to start ...
Hello
Thanks for the trick the X server now starts normally ! I already tryed
to comment the line for this module in the load modules section, but it
was not enough, I needed Option "NoINT10" "true".
I think the bios stuff is missing/broken on this card, because when
trying to switch to the arcbios from srm on this box, i just get a
machine hang with this particular card.
