Kudzu freezing during graphical boot

The kudzu program has a problem while the graphical boot is running.  
When it detects new hardware that has to be configured, the program 
runs, but there is no opportunity for the user to make the selection 
whether or not to configure the hardware.  Not even ctrl-alt-bksp will 
get you to the right screen.  Depending on how much hardware needs to be 
configured, this could cause delays upward of three minutes or more.  As 
a solution, I suggest this change to the kudzu startup script.  This 
should run kudzu without requiring any user input.

After KUDZU_ARGS=

RUNX=`/sbin/pidof X`
 
if [ $RUNX ]; then
  KUDZU_ARGS="-q"
fi
 
if [ "$SAFE" != "no" ]; then
  if [ $RUNX ]; then
    KUDZU_ARGS="-s -q"
  else
    KUDZU_ARGS="-s"
  fi
fi
