To enable POSIX Shared Memory on your system, perform the following as root:

1. Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
2. Mount shared memory as follows: mount /dev/shm

This is wrong on a suse 10.3:

nimrodel:~ # l /dev/shm/
total 0
drwxrwxrwt 3 root root 60 Jan 9 04:21 ./
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 7880 Jan 10 19:40 ../
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 320 Jan 9 04:21 sysconfig/

Because '/dev/shm' is a directory!

But reading again the fstab line above, "/dev/shm" is the mount point, not the device node to mount somewhere else. Thus, opensuse 10.3 already comes with '/dev/shm' mounted, but it doesn't show in the command mount, it must be done in some other way.

So... those instructions are incorrect, and we do have that posix shared memory thing. If the driver says otherwise, the driver must be old.
