[gentoo-user] 2.6.23 and xorg delayed startup

I just upgraded my kernel from 2.6.19 to 2.6.23 and it takes almost a minute for X to start now.

I have changed window managers (normally ctwm, tested with twm) with the same results. I rebooted the 2.6.19 kernel and X fires right up as expected. Booting back to 2.6.23 and it's excruciatingly long.

I saw some prior posts which indicated a network problem, but in that case the OP said that the loopback interface wasn't up. I checked my system (ifconfig) and both lo and eth0 are up and running.

I do have this error from startx, though: Couldn't establish a connection to :9202: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname ':9202'

I forgot to check if I had that error when running 2.6.19... I tried a web search for this type of error and came up empty. What part of X would this error be from?

Thanks!
