Disclaimer: alphas under my command have never run X and are least likely to
suddenly start running it anytime soon.
Alpha used to have some ridiculously low amount of shared memory
configured.
So quite a lot of apps used to barf. Namely - cdrecord, mysql server, etc.
Check where is yours at the moment and raise it to a more appropriate
value by either catting to the appropriate /proc entry or changing the
/usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h.
Otherwise the shared memory on alpha should be fully functional and I
see no reason to disable it. Mine are bumped up to 32 or more on most
machines.
And If I recall correctly the comments in that file are actually
wrong. Value is not bytes, but in machine size word. For alpha *8.
As I said - I do not run X on them so all #include "stdisclaimer.h"
apply.
