That article in the forums suggests adding xdm to the boot runlevel to get it |
| 11 |
started sooner. Ive been doing something for a while which is slightly |
| 12 |
different, and IMO a little cleaner. |

I use an additional runlevel called postx for services that shouldnt hold up |
| 15 |
xdm. xdm and all the essential services are in the standard default runlevel. |
| 16 |
Then in /etc/conf.d/local.start I have.... |
| 17 |
(sleep 20; /sbin/rc postx) > /var/log/postx & |
| 18 |

The sleep allows enough time for xdm to start smoothly, then the postx |
| 20 |
runlevel services are started in the background. |
