I'm unsure if this is the right mailing list to send this to. I hope so. :) >From the handbook: > To enhance the shared memory Xorg interface, it is recommended to > increase the values of these sysctl(8) variables: > > kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 > kern.ipc.shmall=32768 Yet if I actually change them on 13.0-RELEASE, the values decrease, not increase. $ priv sysctl kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864 kern.ipc.shmmax: 536870912 -> 67108864 $ priv sysctl kern.ipc.shmall=32768 kern.ipc.shmall: 131072 -> 32768 Perhaps this should be removed? I set up a FreeBSD HTPC today on the amd64 architecture and it handles video fine without any adjustment. Seems it was mentioned before, but never fixed. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229816 -- https://amissing.link
