Greetings, Over the years using the xfce4 desktop, I would occasionally receive SHM ERROR messages. As they never interfered (so's I could notice), I always put off attempting to track the cause down. However, now having performed a fairly major upgrade (~1yr since last), The error appears to greatly affect KDE4 (used to use kde3) applications I run within xfce4. The windows don't re-draw correctly, and I receive additional errors,as well: ... Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id: 0x0 X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9 Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea) Resource id: 0x0 QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver ... After much searching, it would appear to be related to the kern.ipc.shm* values. pertinent details follow: FreeBSD udns 8.4-STABLE FreeBSD 8.4-STABLE #3: Tue Jul 2 13:41:21 PDT 2013 root@udns:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/AMD64 amd64 with 64Gb ram, and 3 cores, and nvidia-driver-308.88_1. # ipcs -M shminfo: shmmax: 33554432 (max shared memory segment size) shmmin: 1 (min shared memory segment size) shmmni: 192 (max number of shared memory identifiers) shmseg: 128 (max shared memory segments per process) shmall: 8192 (max amount of shared memory in pages) Thank you for all your time, and consideration. --chris
