Slow startup of GDM on Hoary

[audriusb at homelan.lt]

Quoting Joakim Nordberg <joakim at nordberg.org>:

X-window starts to work very slow when it uses generic VGA driver or its
derivatives. X-window from XFree and X-org are using different set of drivers.
Don't be lazy and read X installation instructions even you are Linux proffy.
Select suitable video cards purchasing a new computer: select a card with
published Linux driver and OpenGL library. I found that ATI and nVidia provides
excellent drivers, but someone may prefer another candidates.
