Xserver lags at startup, "Please Wait" splash does not display

[kevin@…]

Using the daily snapshot image from buildhost for 12 March 2008 and the kernel
from 10 March 2008 (also from buildhost) the "Please Wait" splash screen fails
to display.

It is instead replaced with the gray stripe pattern seen when doing an X
--configure. This screen displays for several seconds before loading userspace
apps normally.

it appears that xsplash.ppm is not being included in the default images even
though it's present in the source. Replacing this image into the file system
causes it to display properly.

it's xsplash-vga.ppm not xsplash.ppm

This has been fixed as of 24 March 2008.
