    Like the idea I can remove the useless video I never watch, even if I replaced it with a better one :P

    BTW: Xsession.post is a bit safer than Xsession.d. Thanks vi_, works even better than event.d
    Link to this thread please!

    Also what is osso-af-startup?

    At least I discussed it around here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=126 (recovery console thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72726&page=4).

    In /etc/event.d you have to remove, if present:
    hildon-startup-progress (runs when X is running)
    progress (runs before X runs, using framebuffer)

    In /etc/Xsession.d you have to remove, if present:
    01xprogress

    and in /etc/Xsession.post you remove, if present:
    22xprogress-stop

    That should get rid of the dots for good (at least *I* don't see them, ever).

    It contains many startup scripts which are run at boot (called from scripts in /etc/init.d) -- the whole boot process is a mess --

    As an example, it contains the script that asks for the lock code if you've set one as well as stuff that is done during the first boot.

    I hope some day I can really document the whole startup mess in Maemo5. But I still need to read the upstart source code, as many things happen even if you wouldn't expect them to happen. Why, oh why, does Maemo use upstart? it's a (small) piece of *fixed* hardware. We just need a linear boot script that does *every-fvcking-thing* depending on the runlevel (normal, actdead, reboot, shutdown).

    But no, "modern" Linux has to over-complicate everything for the sake of enlarging the egos of incompetent programmers (read: freedesktop, gnome, ubuntu, debian, etc.)

    There, I said it!

    It might be allready written but if you want to remove the original boot video (or want to place your custom one) there is super user friendly application called "bootscreen manager"

    You can find on App manager.

    It is installed in the settings panel

    I don't think booting in N900 is slow comparing to some other phones .. try to completely shut down an iPhone or blackberry then turn it on again .. it will take longer time than N900 to boot up .. and if we look at the operation system in iPhone and blackberry they will be lighter than maemo on N900 , cause iPhone and blackberry are just smart phones but maemo N900 are much like PC as u said . so , N900 with this powerfull operation system is fast booting comparing to other phones with lighter operations .
    And if want to compare booting speed in N900 to older Nokia devices like N95 or older , u are make a mistake, because the operation systems in those old phone are very simple and just nothing comparing to operation in N900 . so it's not strange if they are faster in booting ..
    anyway , u can speed up booting by delete video booting and disable some features that must work when phone starts up , such as : wireless , chat accounts , use less number of desktops specially if u have 9 desktops , 2 will be enough.. also if u have less apps and more rootfs space , the boot will be faster .. I'm not professional , but I think u will get faster booting if did that .

    Very very true, especially Blackberry. Phone power buttons tend to lie these days -- even the N900, with its alarms that still work as the device is "powered off".

    The question that follows from this -- is there any "low-power" state that N900 could be sent to, instead of its current normal power-down state, that would improve its boot performance without unacceptable battery use?

    Look forward to trying reinob's init tweaks. Always hated the fritzy startup dots

    Also, search all the posts (only 31) of this member, he tries to remove everything that isn't open source / replaceable / not needed
