Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0-5 Severity: wishlist The preinst script of xserver-xfree86 package seemes to need very long time to detect video cards.
The preinst is blocked by waiting discover --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video which takes more than 300 seconds on my system. However, if I skip serial port -- i.e. do discover --disable=serial --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video , the result returns immediately. Since there should be no video card on a serial port, would you exclude such slow buses from scanning "video"? --- debian/config.old 2004-03-09 22:04:18.000000000 +0900 +++ debian/config 2004-03-09 22:06:13.000000000 +0900 @@ -659 +659 @@ - DISCOVERED_VIDEO=$(discover --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video) + DISCOVERED_VIDEO=$(discover --disable=serial,parallel --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Versions of packages: ii kernel-image-2.6.3 20030302(private pkg) ii discover 1.5-2 ii discover-data 1.2004.02.08-2
