Package: xdm
Version: 1:1.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist

On slower systems just after /etc/rc2.d/S??xdm is started after boot,
there are a few seconds one is left staring at a login: prompt still
on tty1. Whereupon being dumb we start typing login and password even
though the message "starting xdm" is shown above it.

One cure would be for xdm to still fire up in the background, but hold
on to the terminal until finished firing up.

OK, never mind. Slow hardware and user.

I don't think there's a sane way to do that (besides starting xdm
earlier, so X is up by the time the rest of the boot is finished).
Enabling insserv might do that as a side effect, I guess.  Closing this
bug.

Cheers,
