Posix Shared Memory
I couldn't find any good info on POSIX, just some sort of file links on Google.. Is Arch a POSIX compliant? I have an NVidia, and had issues with ATi, it had to be POSIX Shared Memory enabled, this was a long time ago, when I was running Kubuntu.. Thanks.

You mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_mem … mentations ?
I have no idea if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1199612 makes sense, but this way you can find out yourself.

No no, I meant does Arch support POSIX? I was telling a friend about ATi Graphics Card, like I used to have, it requires POSIX Shared Memory to use it.

Re: Posix Shared Memory
Your question is confused.
Linux is roughly POSIX-compliant.
But what you really want, it sounds like, is /dev/shm to be used by the graphics card. As you can see, Linux supports that, so go ahead and set it up. I've never heard of a graphics card wanting it, but my experience is with nvidia.
The only thing I've seen which needs it is the Dark Mod for Doom3.

Yeah, that's all I've wondered.. I know longer use ATi, I'm now using NVidia, due to that POSIX issue.. Anyway, thanks for the answer !!
