After booting up to graphical login:

rmmod dgdm
modprobe dgdm ; time udevadm settle

real    0m0.107s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m0.000s

modprobe blocks until the process has completed.


It appears, by watching the boot screen, when using sysvinit the boot 
process pauses at a certain point until this has completed. It doesn't 
stop as soon as it starts, but it does pause nun the less. Using systemd 
it does appear to.
