@ -31,12 +31,13 @@ ogle can also use SystemV shared memory, but the
shared memory requirements exceed default GENERIC parameters.
You will need to crank them up.
Starting with OpenBSD 3.1, you can use config to change them
without needing to recompile the kernel, e.g.,
config -e -o bsd2 bsd
adjust shmseg (number of segments, 16 is a good value)
and shmmaxpgs (total size of systemV shared memory, crank to
at least 4096).
Starting with OpenBSD 3.3, sysctl(8) can modify the shared memory
parameters. A reasonable choice would be:
kern.shminfo.shmseg=32
kern.shminfo.shmall=32768
(to add to /etc/sysctl.conf, or to tweak manually with sysctl).
Overall, ogle needs about 50% cpu for full-framerate decoding
