xdm takes so long to start [was Re: New X Server crashes]

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

Me too!

xdm on my machine(laptop) takes about 50 seconds to start.
These are the last few lines in my xdm.log:

(==) ATI(0): Backing store disabled
(**) Mouse0: Protocol: "PS/2"
(**) Mouse0: Core Pointer
(==) Mouse0: Buttons: 3
(II) Keyboard "Keyboard0" handled by legacy driver
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Mouse0" (type: MOUSE)
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, removing from list!
Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, removing from list!
xdm error (pid 334): SetPerClientControls failed

If no one knows why, then I am going to fire up a bug report against it.

Regards,

Shao.
