The actual amount of power saved and the recovery time for each of the states is
monitor-dependent and may vary widely.
The customer can compensate for this
by choosing an appropriate level for the monitor that is currently in use.
By default, the DPMS level used is the Screen Saver (i.e. no power savings). If
you wish to use power saving during screen blanking, set the following
X*screens
file entry before starting the server:
MinimumMonitorPowerSaveLevel
<
level

Where <
level>
is replaced with the single digit 0, 1, 2, or 3 as specified in the
Level
column in the above table.
Shared memory extension (
MIT_SHM
)
The MIT shared memory extension provides both sharedmemory XImages and
shared-memory pixmaps based on the SYSV shared memory primitives.
Shared memory XImages are essentially a version of the XImage interface where
the actual image data is stored in a shared memory segment, and thus need not be
moved through the Xlib interprocess communication channel. For large images,
use of this facility can result in increased performance.
Shared memory pixmaps are a similar concept implemented for the pixmap
interface. Shared memory pixmaps are twodimensional arrays of pixels in a format
specified by the X server, where the pixmap data is stored in the shared memory
segment. In all other respects, shared memory pixmaps behave the same as
ordinary pixmaps and can be modified by the usual Xlib routines. In addition, it is
possible to change the contents of these pixmaps directly without the use of Xlib
routines merely by modifying the pixmap data.
Supported devices
The X server supports the MIT shared memory extension on the following
devices:
