Re: akmods: You think I would have learned my lesson with avidemux :)

Even though I didn't write that line, I'm fairly sure that's what it is for. Starting up X before your graphics driver finished compiling is not going to work properly. That said, the problem there is, this works for graphics drivers, but what about akmods for wireless networking, for example? If you have systemwide wireless connections set up in NetworkManager, you have to have the akmod built before NetworkManager starts up. But if you only use akmods for a graphics driver, or even for some obscure driver not needed at bootup at all, your boot will block needlessly if NetworkManager waits for them. The problem is, ordering constraints are highly dependent on what akmods you're actually using.
