We have no times for this isolated feature of starting X and vdr parallel, because we do more. We don't use lircd, but eventlircd, because eventlircd has not to wait until the remote devices are ready, so the vdr don't need to wait for them too. Many current dvb tuners need long time to get ready, sometimes because usb enumeration happens late, or firmware has to be loaded. For this Lars has invented the dynamite plugin that collects tuners when they are ready and gives them to the vdr. Other distributions have to wait with the vdr start till the last dvb tuner is ready. We don't wait for any of them. The vdr will show a picture when the first tuner comes ready. Of course it is very hardware related, but 10 seconds from bios post till live tv is possible. We had even some customized setups that did it in 6 seconds.

Hi Gerald,
This sounds great. What is the name of the distribution you are refering to?
Kind regards, Cedric
