vlc3 or one of its deps ( 10.x / x86 ) breaks startx when loaded onboot

[Leee]

If I put vlc3.tcz in my onboot.lst, startx will fail in waitforx.

If I remove vlc3.tcz from onboot.lst and load it after X has started, X is continues to work and vlc3 works.

vlc3 has a multitude of deps that are not otherwise used by any of my onboot extensions.  When I load vlc3 after X has started, the following dependencies are also loaded:

I'd guess the problem arises from loading Xorg-7.7-3d - perhaps you need graphics-KERNEL loaded beforehand?

If you get "fail in waitforx", you can run the command "Xorg -nolisten tcp" to see what the error is.

Thanks Juanito.

I am already using graphics-KERNEL as the first extension loaded.

I'll try    Xorg -nolisten tcp     the next time I reboot but that will likely be a few days as I've gotten involved with some shtuff that's not going to be done tonight.
