Description of problem: rc.serial is not called until line 565 in
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit  When using a tablet pc with graphical login GDM loads GUI
blocking serial port access needed for touchscreen. This is easily cured copying
lines 564-565 and placing them at line 180 setting serial port before GDM starts. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
this has been a presistant through out all versions of Fedora and RedHat

How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. create file /etc/rc.serial
2. edit file add setserial /dev/ttyS3 autoconfig
                 setserial /dev/ttyS3 uart 1654 irq 5 port 0xfd68
3. edit /etc/xorg.conf add Section "Input Device"
                             Identifier "Mouse0"
                             Driver "fpit"
                             Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS3"
                             Option "BaudRate" "9600"
                             Option "SendCoreEvents"
                            EndSection  
  
Actual results: execute /etc/rc.serial after GDM starts
 device or resorce is busy:


Expected results: touchscreen functions properly


Additional info: tablet used for gps mapping. With graphical boot and autologin
then all that is needed is touchscreen. after editing rc.sysinit as described it
functions perfectly.

Probably this is best moved to a udev rule that runs on the serial device
creation/coldplug.
