XFree 4.0 is known to be very hungry for the shared memory, so you should increase SHMSEG parameter in your kernel config file. There are no guidelines as to what exact number will be sufficient, so you should define it in experimental way. I personally set it to 100 (options SHMSEG=100) and do not see any warnings anymore. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
