Are you using startx? If so, is it faster when running XFree86
directly without any clients?
I can't recall ever seeing X start up so slowly. How fast
is this CPU? Does this system have a disk drive? If so, are
you using DMA? My first instinct would be that this is a disk
problem or you're starting more than you think you're starting.
Which XFree86 driver is this?
