Dear Devs, |

I was very excited about prelink, since on my Athlon 1800 XP machine with 512 DDR, KDE startup times still bother me...(I guess the faster machine you have the more you expect:-)) |

So I looked at the (otherwise clear and well written) prelink guide. I was very unhappy with what I found there: |

In the era of fast PC-s, one only need to have a couple of programs prelinked: to me this is kde (konqi mainly but others as well), wine, winex and probably (if prelink would help it) openoffice...(I do not run gnome). All the rest of my programs startup like flash, so there is no practical advantage to prelink them time to time... |

Those of you familiar with the prelinking guide already figured where I am getting at: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
- wine and winex cannot be prelinked (yet) |
| 12 |
- since I have nvidia graphics, all my kde stuff is linked to that so I cannot prelink any KDE apps... |
| 13 |

Yes, I could switch to nv driver, but then I would loose my TV-out for watching dvds, and I cannot start any movie in fullscreen with xvideo under mplayer (trust me I tried hard) not to mention games... |
| 15 |

Is there any hope to remedy these problems? How other distros handle the nvidia probs? Red hat and mandrake supposedly prelinked, and they use nvidia rpms... |

What about wine? Even running calc.exe can take a good ten seconds to start up... |

It is not supposed to be a flame just wrote this in the hope that someone might be able to help... |
