Booting and resolution change very slooooow

Why is nvidia server booting so sloooooooow?
It takes around 60 secs on my 1GHz Athlon. The nv server boots in less than 10 secs.
It is also very slow changing from a text VT to the graphics mode.
Is anyone getting the same problem?

Which card is this with? I remember a bunch of people having this problem with GF4 MX series cards, and I don't remember if there was a solution or not...

I have the same problem. It takes significant time to start X and change modes.

The configuration is AMD K7 1700 on KT333 chipset with GF 440 MX. Latest nvidia drivers and 2.4.19 kernel.

You hit the target, bwkaz, it's a WINFAST GF4 MX440. I suppose nobody knows why that behaviour.
Thanx a lot.
