1910     - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
1911     - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
1912     since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
1913     on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
1914     after 8 seconds.
