[LI] Time lapse in X

[Anuj Jain <siliconeyes@xxxxxxx>]

Now that you mention it, I remember I encountered the same problem with
RH 6.0 installed of the CHIP CD. It was pretty wierd... the whole damned
thing slowed down like crazy, and took about 15 minutes for a complete
boot.

Even more wierd was this: If I resetted the X server during this time
lag phase, using Ctrl+Alt+Bkspace, the server started running just
fine!! Normal login, normal boot... all happened at the speed it was
supposed to!

EVEN more wierd (sigh!): Soon, I had to reset the server twice before it
returned to normal operation!! 

After that, I gave up on Linux. Not because of this, I'm not that big a
loser! Its just that my damned VoiceSurfr 56K is a windows only modem
:-(

So, try this yourself, and see if it helps. Then we can sue RH together!

P.S. Page 175, PCQ, November issue. They write about this mailing list
of ours. I quote:

For example, if you've a question about setting up of X for a SiS6215c
display card, you can simply go to the archive site and enter '6215' in
the search field blah, blah, blah........

One would wonder why they specifically chose the SiS6215c, no???? ;-))
