Bug#237046: xserver-xfree86: config script takes very long time
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0-5
Severity: wishlist
The preinst script of xserver-xfree86 package seemes to need
very long time to detect video cards.
The preinst is blocked by waiting
discover --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video
which takes more than 300 seconds on my system.
However, if I skip serial port -- i.e. do
discover --disable=serial --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video
, the result returns immediately.
Since there should be no video card on a serial port,
would you exclude such slow buses from scanning "video"?
