Unfortunately, these are my current settings: options SHMALL=1025 options SHMMAX="(SHMMAXPGS*PAGE_SIZE+1)" options SHMMAXPGS=1025 options SHMMIN=2 options SHMMNI=256 options SHMSEG=128 I can increase it more, but I think this is quite a ridiculous amount of shared memory to be using. Something must be wrong. I am now searching for a way to disable the MIT-SHM extension in the X server, but I think I may have to recompile. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
