seek method of eliminating unnecessary probing after successful installation of xserver xorg
Hello
I try to "only use" X, but
the problem :
It seems that each time the x server starts, it takes endless time
(less when stopping ) and from the log I see that it probes a lot of pci
bus adresses.
This takes place either by hwinfo or lspci or something similar.
Also that I know and could tell the xserver the pci address(es) of the
video device(s) in a config-file.
The same for mode lines.
Maxbee it makes sense to make
a white list on what to do (=xorg.conf)
{
video card is at
lspci -vxxxs 0000:01:00.0 >>
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. UniChrome Pro
IGP (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
maybe second card is @ ......
}
and leave the other pci addresses alone
a black list on what not to do
(see /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist)
which even xdebconfigurator could fill and or respect.
The same for mode lines. Tring all these modlines at each start
eats time, and once having established the working and desirable
modlines and display versions allows to eliminate cruft in the
xorg.conf.
This for discussion and reply
