In my further quest for desktop optimization, I looked into the PC-BSD sources. And, oh man, is trac awesome!! Anyway they added some options to the kernel:
but more importantly, the following entries in /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf respectively
I thought I'd share with you since these are "certified tweaks" if you will for desktop use as stated in the pc bsd wiki.
Cheers!
Code:
# # PCBSD -- Generic kernel configuration file for PCBSD 8 # include GENERIC ident PCBSD # Include atapicam support device atapicam # ATAPI Cam Support # Added support for pf / altq device pf device pflog device pfsync options ALTQ options ALTQ_CBQ options ALTQ_RED options ALTQ_RIO options ALTQ_HFSC options ALTQ_CDNR options ALTQ_PRIQ options ALTQ_NOPCC # AppleTalk Support options NETATALK # x86 real mode BIOS emulator, required by atkbdc/dpms/vesa options X86BIOS options SC_PIXEL_MODE
but more importantly, the following entries in /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf respectively
Code:
# Kernel Options kern.ipc.shmseg=1024 kern.ipc.shmmni=1024 kern.maxproc=10000
Code:
# Disable the system speaker hw.syscons.bell=0 # Disable coredump kern.coredump=0 # Up the maxfiles to 4x default kern.maxfiles=49312 # Allow users to mount CD's vfs.usermount=1 # Enable more sound channels dev.pcm.0.play.vchans=4 dev.pcm.0.rec.vchans=4
