X is not a critical package and you shouldn't mess with udev just because X fails to launch.
Is that right. Many may see X as far more critical. The drivers are in the kernel after all.
What drivers? All I was saying is that failure of X is not critical because you still have tty logins and perfectly working console... so you go from there.
I presume you mean udev problems could possibly affect bootup. If it can, maybe that's a design error? Of course that doesn't mean your not right, but maybe rephrase to your risking boot failure, if that's what you meant?
Of course udev can affect system boot. But noone was talking about boot failures, just simple graphics/sound problems. -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key: 0x164B5A6D Fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
