Keep GENERIC as it is, i'd say. The Xserver runs fine without these options (albeit with a complaint), and most people never need them at all. The Xserver only needs SYSVSHM if some application tries to use the MITSHM extension, and it needs SYSVSEM if somebody's going to run PEX. Both are not very general cases. If at all, leave SYSVMSG out. Almost nobody needs it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
