I already had
 "set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax = 0x10000000"
which I had done for using DX.
I am leaving that line as is because it is larger
than the size you suggest for that.
I will add the other two lines.
It will be several hours before I can reboot. I have
not rebooted for nearly two years. I usually dont.

Thanks.
