Why does Xorg take so long to load with the fglrx driver? I have compared my laptops bootchart with many other computers of similar performance but with different graphics cards and Xorg start so much faster. It takes ago 5-10 to start X on my system. Why am I bitching about this you might ask? Well I help develop a new init system and my boot from kernel load to login with slimd (which also included the loading of hal/dbus/samba/wpa_supplicant/etc) only takes 15-18 seconds. Staring X is a the slowest part of my boot by far and I think its fglrx's fault!!!
Specifically, I think it has part to do with DRIScreenINIT. Why cant this driver work like every other normal linux driver and create a hotplug compatible event so that udev/mdev could create /dev/dri/card* when fglrx is modprobbed?
