Author: Dirk Mueller Subject: Raise default client limit to 512 Patch-Mainline: Never After a while of starting too many browser tabs, I ran into xorg: Maximum number of clients reached which also prevented me from starting a terminal window to debug the issue.. so raise the default a bit. Based on https://plug-discuss.phxlinux.narkive.com/BWkQ7Xez/xorg-maximum-number-of-clients-reached it appears other distros are also doing that. --- xorg-server-21.1.3.orig/include/misc.h +++ xorg-server-21.1.3/include/misc.h @@ -88,7 +88,7 @@ OF THIS SOFTWARE. #define MAXGPUSCREENS 16 #endif #define MAXCLIENTS 2048 -#define LIMITCLIENTS 256 /* Must be a power of 2 and <= MAXCLIENTS */ +#define LIMITCLIENTS 512 /* Must be a power of 2 and <= MAXCLIENTS */ #define MAXEXTENSIONS 128 #define MAXFORMATS 8 #ifndef MAXDEVICES --- xorg-server-21.1.3.orig/man/Xserver.man +++ xorg-server-21.1.3/man/Xserver.man @@ -317,9 +317,9 @@ A value of zero makes the stack size as of \-1 leaves the stack space limit unchanged. .TP 8 .B \-maxclients -.BR 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 +.BR 64 | 128 | 256 | 512 | 1024 | 2048 Set the maximum number of clients allowed to connect to the X server. -Acceptable values are 64, 128, 256 or 512. +Acceptable values are 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 or 2048. .TP 8 .B \-render .BR default | mono | gray | color
