Norbert,
Shooting from the hip here it sounds like you have a bunch of clients in your
XWin startup script that, one-by-one, attempt to connect to the server, find
that they don't support the only available visual, then disconnect from the
server (which causes the server to reset since that was the only connected
client). After this the next client in your batch or script file is launched
and does the same thing. Each client connection and server restart takes,
say, 30 seconds.
Am I totally wrong here? Are you not trying to start any X clients?
Something is telling the server to restart... we just have to figure out what
that something is.
