Description fbusse 2003-02-23 01:59:43 UTC
Just installed XFree86-4.2.1-r2 with KDE 3.1 on two machines and noticed, that the 
kdm_greet startup is really slow (takes about 30 secs to 1 min for the login-screen to 
show up). After the NVIDIA-splashscreen (GeForce in both machines) comes up, there's 
a long time nothing, just a grey background 
After re-emerging fontconfig 2.1, the problem was gone, the startup of kdm_greet is 
now as fast as I expected. 
I think, this should be considered a bug (that's easy to fix), but I have no idea what 
causes this behavior. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install XFree86-4.2.1-r2/KDE 3.1 
2. Start kdm 
3. Reemerge fontconfig and compare the needed startup-time
