(SOLUTION!) In-Reply-To: In-Reply-To: <20010105210016.1778.qmail@scrye.com> X-Mailer: VM 6.72 under 21.1 (patch 12) "Channel Islands" XEmacs Lucid Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Duh. I figured out the problem. In 2.4.0-test13-pre3 is the introduction of the shmall sysctl. I had installed a package called powertweak a while back. It looks like powertweak sets any sysctl it doesn't know to 0. So, the problem was that there was no shared memory for X. ;( I set that up to a reasonable level and all is well. sorry for the wild goose chase. :( kevin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
