Xfree86 3.3.6 with and without eth0
I have noticed a minor issue which I would like to submit to the wisdom of
the list. When I run xfree86 3.3.6 on my potato laptop with an active
ethernet connection, x will just start right up. My laptop is a Dell
Latitude Ls model with an integrated 3com 905c tornado card (not pcmcia).
If I do not have a physical network connection, but eth0 is still running, I
notice a significant delay in starting x up but it will start. If I bring
down eth0 by typing ifdown eth0, x starts right up.
Why is this? Besides getting the feeling that x is timing out on the
network connection.
